Urban Canyon Sun Flare

Thank you for your wonderful response to the shot of Chicago at dusk. It was a beautiful evening and I was glad to be able to share it.
Back on Beaver Island, but still working through photos from my city walk before we left Chicago. The building that is dwarfed in the background is the Sears (aka Willis) Tower, seen from the east through the financial district. Of course, the Sears Tower actually towers over all the buildings.

Beautiful capture of a sun flare! I like how it seems you are walking by, and glancing upward, and catching this image.

[Rosie Kerr]

Joining the "flare" chorus of admirers, plus - kudos for the super vertical and horizontal lines of this shot. Just right. :)

[Taffy]

@jyokota @rosiekerr You two must have been posting simultaneously! That's what a good photowalk does! Many thanks! I'm sure the crowds walking by me thought I was nuts as I was moving about to get into the right part of the shadow to make the flare. Turned a boring errand into a fun photo trip.

[Eric di Bosco]

Now that's what I call a sun flare! Fantastic! I really like your viewpoint and perspective. Also shot at the right time of the day - certainly speaks of experience and knowledge of your city!

[Suse♡]

How wonderful! The pov & especially the star are what caught my eye here

[Debs Stott]

Just fabulous! The starburst really adds a touch of magic to the urban scene.

[Darlene]

The angle of this shot is amazing. You know how to capture photos of almost everything so well. Love the sun flare too. FAV

[Dianne]

Brilliant image.

[Joan Robillard]

Fantastic pov. You show us that we have to look to see the shots and not always take the same old shot.

[Danny G.]

Favtastic!

[Clare Gadsby]

Awesome capture.

[Ivan]

Fav! Great POV too.

[Irene]

Super flare but couldn't live in a city like this. I need my space and my garden. I can only take London for a few days and it has few skyscrapers

[Christina Helliwell]

Great starburst, and a wonderful shot.

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture and perspective. Congratulations on making the Trending Page and the PP. Well deserved.

[Taffy]

[Janet]

Amazing shot. I worked on the 79th floor for 10 years. Wish I had been into photography back then. Huge fav!

[Osia Strasner]

I can't believe they are now calling the Sears tower the Willis building....that's sacrilege! Wonderful sun flare, and a FAV!! Great to have a stash of architectural photos to work on while at the island.

[Steve Angell]

I love this ultra wide-angle.
Great iris star.

[Bankmann]

So cool… that sun flare did the whole thing...

[Chris Johnson]

You always can come up with the coolest perspectives for your city shots! A sun flare between buildings is a great idea!
