Chicago at 0 degrees

Every year we try to go to Chicago right before the holidays for some shopping and to visit my brother. This year it was COLD! I think it made it to 5 degrees outside. I was determined to take a few night shots. My camera actually had frost on it by the time I was done! I will spend some time later and get caught up on my friends' streams. I wish you all a fantastic 2009!

    Seriously Chad, this is one incredible scene. The people skating look so small next to those buildings, and the whole scene is real dynamic. I just love it :)
