In Perspective

Chicago RiverFront

Growth...change?
You get a different POV of the riverfront in these photos. Some of the buildings are new developments and I can appreciate them,  along with the older ones. It must be a nice feeling to reside in one of these I think.
Yeah, I am used to suburbia so the "urban" appeals to me...even though the suburbs can be pretty and manicured they sometimes get monotonous.
And face it - downright boring...

I find structures alone to be interesting.
Different cities offer views of skylines and grids.
In all honesty, grids and lines are basically similar. Even in other countries.
You have systems that have been generated from the Roman times...so...you will find some consistency everywhere. Even if it is subtle. (this is in larger, more major cities - not small towns etc.) 
I really do enjoy studying this and believe it or not I have many photos of just skylines. From all over.
Yeah, it sounds dorky.

I love scrapers...and of course the infrastructure of the bridges and roads that envelope them and they always add more interest.
The ones I am showing here are not really that tall either.
But they are beautiful in their own right and add character to the city. With the parks and fountains along the way it becomes very inviting. Well, at least while the weather is nice.

My photos have been worked to enhance the emotion with the buildings. I have a series of shots that I am working with and hope to have it in a coherent order soon!
I also will be working with them more as far as taking them into a b/w or sepia toned set.
But I like this vibrant look for now.
