The Chicago Skyway Bridge by taffy

The Chicago Skyway Bridge

Rained all day today so here's a shot I worked on instead of going out to take one. It's from yesterday's drive from northern Michigan through Indiana to Chicago -- it's high above the ground below and always, to me, scary to drive over. I never mind as a passenger as I'm always trying to photograph it -- rarely with any luck. Fortunately, we got to this before rush hour as usually there are trucks in front blocking my view.
Awesome picture and perspective.

The B/W edit makes this a strong image for me. Good job, catching this while in motion. That's no easy feat really.

Excellent as always

Great lines!

I'm so into lines and symmetry and you photograph these elements so well.

Great shot- I don't do well on high bridges either- stomach flutters the whole time!

Love the strong lines and repetitions - made a fascinating shot - lucky to catch the distance between cars to get this at just the right spot.

Super lines! Hard to do, from a moving vehicle, too. The contrasty processing really emphasizes the symmetry of the structure.

I'm amazed you can get this sharpness and symmetry in a moving vehicle! Wow. Nice in b and w

Love the hardness (is that a word?!!) against the softness of the clouds.
October 13th, 2016  
Love the contrasts, works so well in B&W :)

A terrific view and remarkably free of traffic

so different from yesterday,then curves and nature, now lines and urban

Great lines and edit.
October 13th, 2016  
such a mundane structure to have held so much romance for so many Chicagoans
October 13th, 2016  
Great lines and b&w conversion
October 13th, 2016  
I know this bridge well. It is where you feel so close to home, but often because of the traffic you are far from getting there! Great processing!
October 13th, 2016  
Wonderful composition
October 13th, 2016  
Taken from a moving car - very impressive.
October 14th, 2016  
Great lines!
October 14th, 2016  
Cool lines!

Fantastic shot of a very interesting and unusual bridge, I really fall for those old riveted structures. Very clever of you to manage to get this shot without umpteen other vehicles in it.
October 14th, 2016  
Makes a great B&W image with fab lines and great sky! Fav!
October 14th, 2016  
very nice and in a moving vehicle?
