Description
Tara (auntietk) posted "Gehry in Chicago" a day ago.
The question came up, What was Bill looking at?
After a little file search, here's the answer:-)
This was my view while standing on the BP Bridge (see Tara's picture), north up Columbus Drive at the Randolph Street skyscrapers in Chicago.
Being originally from New York, I grew up thinking of the manmade canyons in Manhattan...so here I am just indulging myself in observing the canyons of another major city noted for its skyscraping architecture.

Outstanding POV employed to snap this urban elysium, Bill, but where's all the traffic? Early Sunday morning?

Dallas has a buried freeway now, since they built a park above it.when the trees get planted they are only allowed to grow so much then they will remove and replace with young trees. I have only been at the airport in Chicago but did get a birds view of the city outstanding cityscape and Merry Christmas to you and all of your family and a very Happy New Year!

Wow. From the angle of my shot, you'd never even know this was here! I mean the road ... not Chicago in general. :P That was a nice morning, just wandering without a plan. :)

That is interesting to have seen the photo of the photographer taking a photo then to see that photo that he took! Great shot!

Well worth those steadying elbows on the parapet Bill. Have a great time my friend.

You and Tara make Chicago look so good. I knew this was here, I've been on Columbus Drive more times than I care to admit. Heck, I've been under Columbus Drive more times than I care to remember, but this really makes that whole area seem new and shiny, and clean! I love the colors and the light and the upwardness of those buildings. I'm also taken with the whole urban canyon thing and I find that the Columbus Drive "maw" leading underground recalls a river either emerging from an underground source, or making its oh-so-casual way into a cave, full of all sorts of interesting, eyeless creatures inside. Wonderful!

And a deep covered gorge dead ahead!

Aha, now we know! - thanks for letting us in on the 'secret' - but it's a concrete jungle out there alright, been there and done that! I'm so glad I am back with Mother nature again - having said all that - it is fascinating and a great POV, BB

Well, that's an amazing scene, and a great shot of it, Bill! Well worth the 'photographer's elbows' from steadying your camera for this shot.

A real man made canyon. Beautiful illustration of monolithic functional modern architecture. Scarcely a decoration to break the monotony. The tunnel is a nice addition to accentuate the canyon. I hope you've had a good Christmas. Take care and have a Happy New Year. :-)

would have never thought wonderful capture warm hugs, Linda

I like this POV and the shadow on the beige building.

It's a beautiful shot Bill, it could almost be HDR the range of colours and details are very dynamic
