Description
This picture was taken at Cornelia Avenue and Lake Shore Drive, looking east into Lincoln Park as a fog rolled in off Lake Michigan. Twenty minutes earlier it had been sunny and about ten degrees warmer. But that's Chicago for you. I was hoping for a dash of color, but there's never a red car around when you need one. Anyway, I kind of like the eerie monochromatic look this has.
Photographed in the Lakeview area of Chicago on April 9, 2011.

Your pic reminded of me of a bit of info I was given by 2 Motorway cops that I knew. They used to use the colour of snooker balls to decide which cars to stop: a red one, then the first of the colours, then a red, and so on. So if you drove a pink car, which was and is still very rare, the likelihood of being stopped was enormous! Modern technology and recent driving habits have changed all that..no time for a snooker match now.

A red car would have been nice, but a silver one works really well too. I like that you caught it right below that superb tree. I love the way the fog outlines the major limbs of the tree. Beautiful capture of the fog as it swallows up trees and pedestrians (but in a softly casual way).

And the trees wait in silence. Seems like a requiem for the sun that was.

Initially I thought it was my colour blindness, but evidently this looks as bleak to you as it does to me. The trees look amazing in this fog, great shot!

This is one of those nice ghostly shots that Chicago gives you on occasion, especially when the only actual color in the city either comes out of the backside, or underside of a dog. Everything else is just gray, grayish-gray, or a slightly gray-tinged silver. Even the sunlight is gray. I rather like the bleakness (with or without canine post-digestive additives) and I love the sense of absolute silence rolling fog gives things. What I really like about this shot is the way in which it's so incredibly quiet even though there should at least be the impression of sound delivered by the car and the two human figures walking ever so casually from one spot of fog into another. Really moody, and I love a good moody shot. The trees look deliciously spooky. All in all, this is a fantastic shot.
