Description


Perhaps I've been watching too much science fiction. Doesn't this jet contrail above the Carbide and Carbon Building look like a death ray shooting out of it? Or maybe I should have my medication dosages adjusted. I made this picture on Michigan Avenue in Downtown Chicago on March 14th, 2010.

Who would have ever thought the Carbide and Carbon building was able to acquire and neutralize targets? Death Ray? The lingo's been updated to "beams" since "rays" are so...well...so...Ming the Merciless. You've been watching OLD science fiction: we're talkin' Flash Gordon quasi-silent movie old, but hey, that's a good thing since they had lightening bolts all over everything, including underwear. This does look rather like a particle beam has been shot out of the C&C Building's uppermost nipple (I believe it's a vestigial dirigible mooring tower with gold leaf applied to it.) Either that, or it's got missile nests up there. At any rate, this is a great shot. Nice reflection captured in the windows too.

Marvellous! What fun, well seen, and actually a very 'striking' (!) pic without the ray!

Your meds are fine. It IS a death ray, and don't let anyone convince you otherwise. They WANT you to think it's your meds. Mwaaaaahaahaahaahaaaaa!!!!! :D

The trail even neatly mimics the erratic etching effect that they used to use in the old Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon series. The art deco look of the tower just puts the mind into the right era. Great stuff.
