Description
During the winter, the American Midwest is an orgy of overcast.From October through March, you can go for up to a week at a time without seeing the sun. So, when the fiery orb finally shows it's face, it's a wonderous and welcome sight. Just as it was over 20 ago when I made this picture out the back porch window of my parent's apartment on Addison Street.
All these years later, I'm not sure how I managed to shoot through glass without getting any reflections, but I suspect I may have been using one of the numerous polarization filters I was enamored with at the time.
Photographed in the Saint Ben's area of Chicago on February 9, 1988.

Ooo, nice. Intense winter sunshine...rare but very welcome. Love all the various shades of gray.

This is stark, and beautiful. The absence of colour really accentuates the play between light and shadow. I also especially like that this shot was taken in the late 80s. A little bit of Chicago history.

Excellent capture, and timeless! Sunshine and shadows ... I never tire of seeing the phenomenon. It happens so rarely here, as well! I love this picture.

This is a gorgeous and deliciously stark photo. I love the shades of gray hovering in between the bolder blacks and white, and the fence/shadow patterns are really amazing. This is one of those photos (by someone else) that reminds me exactly of why I like photography. The composition is top drawer stuff. Really nice!

The B&W is so perfect for this shot, brings out the starkness and details--great shot!!
