Agora in the Snow

I went to the Field Museum today, I had a ticket to the soft opening of the Viking's Exhibit, which I enjoyed, and even though I took a ton of shots whilst at the museum this was the shot I liked the best. It was taken a little bit west of the Museum campus. If you want to know more about this art instillation I have captured it before, here is a description of what it is http://365project.org/ukandie1/extras/2014-10-29
As you may be able to tell it was snowing at the time. Maybe I should have turned on my flash to have captured that better? Dare I say best viewed on black :)

I also want to say a huge thank you to everyone for all the wonderful comments and favs you gave my shots yesterday especially the ones for my "More Bean", I did it for the HighKey/Lowkey challenge, and was worried that I might have pushed it too far, so I was amazed and very thankful for all of the positive comments.

Love the shot, the installation, which I haven't heard about so thanks for the link.

[Lisa Villella]

Very cool shot! fav!

[Diana Chaplin]

I did a double take when i saw this haha, wonderful shot, to me the diagonal lines of the snow are what really makes it special

[~~JT]

I thought the tunnel shot was the tunnel near the Field Museum! Glad to know I was right! The snow, this afternoon, was crazy. I love the way you've captured it!

[Ukandie!]

@voiceprintz Well spotted! I am not sure why, but the snow this afternoon caused way more issues than it should have, i don't think they have cleared any of the side streets even now, and it took for ever for to get home via bus from the green line in Oak Park.

[Crethar]

I have always loved that sculpture.

[Joan]

I really like the city skyline as a backdrop here. So soft and hazy behind the stark black shapes. Fav!

[bkb in the city]

What an unusual sight

[Rosie Kerr]

I have seen these sculptures photographed before, but not with the slashing diagonal lines of the snow. For some reason, I like them as you have shot them... connected to the cityscape and out in the weather.

[KWind]

I think this is wonderful! Fav. I went with my son's class to a Viking exhibit at the royal BC Museum in Victoria. I bet it was the same one. It was very good.

[Gena Pegg]

WOW..this is amazing! What a great capture and the perspective is enhanced with a real person in the shot. And you have certainly captured the mood of the storm.

[☯ Sarah ☁]

Awesome shot, amazing piece of art & very cool background with the snow showing.....fav :)

[Warren Mullett]

Yea this is killer ! So many elements combined well and exposed properly. My favorite parts are the snow and the fading skyline

[Andrea]

😍fav😍

[Andy]

This looks great against the snow.

[Susana]

I love how the only person is having the same pose with the rest of the sculptures! Fav

[Dione Giorgio]

This is a very atmospheric capture with the falling snow and the lady looking at her mobile. The sculpture is very intriguing and I liked the info at the site you indicated.

[Rachel]

Amazing! Fav

[Helen K]

Weird but brilliant. Love the pov. Fav.

[Joyce]

Great capture Andrea. Love the falling snow and the lady gives it a sense of proportion.

[vstap]

Like this with the snow and low contrast background. Also like that there's one lone figure in the shot, not at first noticed. Cool. Fav

[Ann H. LeFevre]

The falling snow really gives this shot a cold feeling! Even the statues look cold! Excellent idea to include the human element too.

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

[Nina Ganci]

[Taffy]

Terrific capture of the legs in snow. Conveys the cold winter weather and high winds perfectly.

[Bill Fenske]

I love the way you've captured the snow.

[Catherine Pace]

well done :o)

[Ukandie!]

@gozoinklings Thank you Catherine, and thanks for starting the theme. Having never hosted anything here I am going to keep it pretty much as you did it, unless you can think of anything that you think might be good to change, as many people are scared of doing street I like keeping it a broad criteria.

[Catherine Pace]

@ukandie1 I totally agree ... broad is good :0)

[David Robinson]

Have just spent some time looking through your collection. Wow! What an awesome talent you have!

[Ukandie!]

@davidrobinson Thank you so much David for your kind words, living in a great city like Chicago has given me so many different photographic opportunities and has really allowed me to improve and find my niche, I also have to give thanks to the wonderful community here on 365. Not sure I am talented, but I am enthusiastic and love photography and love the journey of learning more.
