A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood by taffy

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Looking north from the Madison Street Bridge to what is usually an area with crowded sidewalks and a river of water taxis and pleasure craft. The two older buildings that frame the new "Wolfpoint" area at the north fork of the river are -- on the left -- the back of Union Station; on the right, the Chicago Lyric Opera building.
Amazing image in many ways! well done

Nice lighting!

So sad ... we need to open but safely in phases

Love the lighting and tones you have here. Do hope people keep in mind that the virus isn't gone yet. Yes, life does have to go on, but there are hopefully ways to do it safer than we were accustomed to.

@samae @milaniet I think you both are exactly right. As much as I'd dream of being able to wander freely, it makes little sense without a vaccine at best, or at the very least reliable treatments. And the virus is so toxic it will take next to nothing if people aren't careful to cause huge spikes again. So much unnecessary loss of life!

Really lovely light. What beautiful buildings!
May 4th, 2020  
Now I see where you went on your walk. The sky reflects the feel of the city empty, doesn't;t it?

nice architectural capture showing the old with the new — interesting sky
May 4th, 2020  
Stunning
May 4th, 2020  
Wonderful view of the river and city devoid of people.
May 4th, 2020  
Love the contrast of the soft stone colours of the old buildings against all the glass of the modern buildings.

Great cityscape. I find the closed businesses and empty streets depressing but I worry about the need to re-open gradually not being taken seriously by some.
May 4th, 2020  
That....is....eerie!
May 4th, 2020  
Oh gosh. Great you're able to get out to shoot some of these extraordinary scenes.
May 4th, 2020  
Quite eerie to see it so deserted. Lovely capture.
May 4th, 2020  
A stunning capture, the city looks so real!
May 4th, 2020  
Love it ...
May 4th, 2020  
Gorgeous clouds up there, what a super sight in the sun
May 4th, 2020  
Fabulous shot! You live in a beautiful city!
May 4th, 2020  
Great composition and pov. Our world has certainly changed over the last few months. Stay safe Taffy.
May 4th, 2020  
Great pov and I love the processing.
May 4th, 2020  
A lovely capture and great processing. Fav!! 😀
May 4th, 2020  
Great pov and details.
May 4th, 2020  
Beautiful capture, the building on the right really drags you into the image - fav
May 4th, 2020  
Great shot
May 4th, 2020  
Without the distraction of the usual busy-ness you really get to see all the strong architectural lines and shapes as they reach up into the sky. Great shot!
May 4th, 2020  
I like the framing, the light, the composition. There’s a bit of a chromatic aberration or haloing between sky and buildings
May 5th, 2020  
Terrific! Love the lines!
May 5th, 2020  
this has a lovely warmth to it, and the triangle created by the buildings and the bridge makes for a great composition (at a pov that might otherwise look awkward).
May 5th, 2020  
Wonderful perspective of a great city. Nice warm feel is a post processing success as well.
