Tired of Flying, Ice Will Do by taffy

Tired of Flying, Ice Will Do

On Sunday, Junko @jyokota and I met Daniel and Annette for the Lunar New Year's parade in Chicago's Chinatown. We were getting a ride there from Junko's husband and as we went over the Chicago River, Junko and I both went "oh wow, photo op." Bill, being a great guy, dropped us off and said he'd circle a bit to give us time for a spontaneous photo shoot (see Junko's album on 2/2 and 2/3 for additional shots). The lighting was really cooperative and the ice was just shimmering.
cool

@joysfocus Thanks so much! Yes, it was so nice of Bill to both drop us off, then give us enough time to shoot, and be right there to pick us up again -- and all downtown in the middle of the city, where you can never predict traffic!
