Taking a break from landscapes and having fun with themes from a photowalk today on Northerly Island in Chicago. For the weekly theme, transportation and Technique Challenge 37 - color contrasts (cyan/yellow as Frank H pointed out).
For those interested, Northerly Island used to be Meigs Field - an airport on Burnham Harbor in Lake Michigan. From Wikipedia: In 2003, In a controversial move on the night of Sunday, March 30, 2003, Mayor Daley ordered city crews to destroy the runway immediately, in the middle of the night, bulldozing large X-shaped gouges into the runway surface. The required notice was not given to the Federal Aviation Administration or the owners of airplanes tied down at the field, and as a result sixteen planes were left stranded at an airport with no operating runway, and an inbound flight had to be diverted by Air Traffic Control, because of equipment scattered on the runway. The stranded aircraft were later allowed to depart from Meigs' 3,000-foot (910 m) taxiway. "To do this any other way would have been needlessly contentious," Daley explained at a news conference Monday morning, March 31.
Not in Wikipedia -- This is an example of the "Chicago way" of getting things done.
Great image, Taffy, even though it is rather busy. If the image means anything to you, you could try to increase the boat's saturation (fairly easy to in LR) to make it pop even more.
