Under the Wabash Avenue Bridge by jyokota

Under the Wabash Avenue Bridge

SOOOO cold. So cold that you don't see anyone on the bridge, on the streets, or walking along the River Walk. Except one person under the bridge. Who would be crazy enough to go out walking on a day like this? In the name of photography, it's @Taffy ! (Taken as I was returning to my warm car to head home . . . and Taffy was on her way out to meet @UKAndie! -- I have to admit that if I hadn't developed a bad cough in the past few days and if I had my real camera and my warm clothes I would have joined them.)

I only had my little camera with me so it's not great photo quality but I couldn't resist posting this image of Taffy.
Amazing shot of the ice and that totally obsessed photographer.

OMG - I can't believe you were able to get this shot!! You must have taken it as soon as you left? I love it -- I do look crazy, but really, I was dressed for it so must defend myself. I went through all THREE hand warmer packets!

Well you did great, you need to have Fresh air right...

@taffy -- hee hee -- I wanted you to be surprised when you saw this so I didn't show it to you first. I did modify the writeup to say that I would have joined you if I could have. You're not all that crazy alone! (I was taking this photo when I thought I might have heard Pam's voice . . .)

@jyokota I am mad too and would have jumped at the chance of joining Taffy @taffy and Andie on that photo walk! What a fabulous sight the frozen river is! Just love it Junko! Huge fav for catching Taffy in your shot! Well done for surprising her!

Hope your cough is better soon! Definitely best that you kept in the warm!

I always hated those Chicago wind tunnels. Those sky scrappers create their own weather down below. I grew up in MKE and I thought MKE was cold, but it doesn't compare to dwtwn Chicago.

Brrr I can't even imagine that degree of cold :)

Looks absolutely perishing! Like a scene from the Penguins of Madagascar with all those ice floats in the river! Hope your cough goes away soon.

I am not sure I love the cold, but I do love the beauty it brings to the city. Sorry you could not join us, and hope you are feeling better!

Hope you are feeling better... this is a fun shot of a determined photographer!

amazing shot ... Taffy looks very tiny down there! I am so impressed with you girls getting out there in the frigid weather with your cameras.

You mean that tiny figure is Taffy? She must be freezing! A great photo to look at when you are warm and cosy inside!
January 8th, 2018  
That speck is @taffy? I would have recognized her anywhere

@joansmor -- you gave me a good laugh to wake up this morning.
January 8th, 2018  
Ha ha! Wonderful capture!

Chicago is a city of great sights, some too cold to view in person.

WOW that looks very cold! We've hardly had frost here at all this winter - and lots of rain :-( Cool (literally ;-) shot!

I can feel the coldness from here!!! But glad you all braved the cold and got these amazing photos!
