2016 05 05 Gotham City

This shot is taken from the CAF River Boat tour looking back towards the city. The sky was so bland I decided the shot needed a conversion to B&W to give it some life. I now think it looks like something from a Batman movie!! LOL!!

Best against black if you have time!!

It was freezing cold on the boat so when the tour was finished we got a bus down the Magnificent Mile and went shopping - in the warm!! We just happened to pop into Tiffany's and of course I had to treat myself!! LOL!! Another birthday present to myself. This is now a standing joke as this whole trip is my present to myself!! Well if you can't treat yourself who can?

Fingers crossed the wind dies down and we have a warmer day today!!

Treat yourself!!

You are clearly a VERY deserving gal! Enjoy every one of those "treats" (and one from Tiffany's can be about as good as it gets for sheer decadence ;) You chose well...can't wait to see! Perhaps you'll deck out for the symphony on Friday! I've loved all your marvelous photos this evening! I'm sharing your sleepless night!

Note to Self: MUST get rest! MUST!

Good night! ♥

Fabulous shot. Looks super on black. You can never have enough birthdays, one day you are going to miss one, so you have to stay ahead of the game. I am ahead by about 143 years I think. I am always having birthdays.

@888rachel I bought a silver chain with a silver Bean on it just like the gorgeous Chicago Bean. Also a pair of stud earrings in the shape of the bean. My sister is buying them for me for my birthday.

The balance and editing are really quite extraordinary. I would be tempted to frame it!

@pamknowler I love to see you purchased those things for yourself! @888rachel
