Description
Driving west on East Monroe Street about two blocks short of the Sears Tower in "The Loop" in Chicago. All the red lights caught my eye.
The Sears Towers got an official name change on the 16th of July. It is now the Willis Tower, Just doesn't have the same familiar ring to it:-)
Do ZOOM. Have added a B&W version with selective coloring below the color version.
You'll see some strange reflections from the inside of my windshield...but with all the grunge work of late...there's nothing to worry about right? LOL.
Thanks for stopping by and all your great support,
Bill:)

Your bottom capture really makes those red lights stand out. Excellent work on this great city scape. Those buildings look to reach to the clouds.

Interesting treatment. Like others, the lower image gets my eye as more than different.

Humm...huge tall buildings but your POV on this is sooo awesome!

You're right, the reflection of the windshield makes it a 'natural grunge' image!and, in my opinion, even enhances it? great shot! in the B/W i love the idea of the red spots, but i'd also colored the banner on the post on the left margin and a spot under that. Did you leave them out because it unbalanced the focus at the center?

Great shot. I like the B/W best.

Exceptional photo, Bill, my preferrence is the color version, because of the sky reflected in the windows... it has a painting quality about it! Tom

Beautiful cityscape. Nice in color as well as in B&W.

Marvelous POV and sharp clarity in this stellar capture of the skyscraping architectural giants, bisected by East Monroe Street, Bill. This would blow my mind and put me into a fetal position if I was claustrophibic. The only indication of a reflection or irregularity that I can determine is from the tinted portion of the windshield at the top of the pics.

Both views are beautiful, Bill, and it is a great urbanscape capture. If memory serves, The Dirksen Federal Building is the one in the left foreground with the supports. I thought maybe you and I might be part of the reflected "grunge" on the windshield! (LOL)
