It was a beautiful day today! This was taken from the center of Lincoln Park, looking south across the pond toward downtown Chicago. Lincoln Park is a wonderful area just west of the lake (Lake Michigan) -- an urban oasis with a little farm, the zoo, a driving range, running and bike paths, and wetlands. In the winter, there's ice skating. I also did this in color (in my main album: http://365project.org/taffy/365/2013-03-31) which gives it a very different feel. I am leaning toward color but am curious about what others think.
Man, both are beautiful, but I think that I prefer the timelessness of the b&w here. I am usually such a color girl. Fav. By the way...thinking of a Chicago trip late April, early May. Maybe we can meet up! I'll keep you posted.
@carolmw@dreamatrix@sjouk (thanks for the fav!) @vankrey@photodude@amandal (thanks for the fav and DO let me know when you're coming up. I'm here til about the 3rd week in May, then back again late August). @darylo
I appreciate your sharing your reasons for leaning to the B&W. I do see that it is more timeless and the sky is more dramatic, to me, as well. Thanks!
Looked at the color first and this second- and now I'm going to go against the crowd and say I like the color better! This looks like a gray day to me in black and white and although I like what it does to the clouds, I prefer the lovely contrast of gold/brown and blue/white sky in the color version.
