This is one of my new favorite spots to shoot from in the city of Chicago. The 18th Street Bridge is just open to composition, and leading lines. And talk about the loss of color, and the stark reality of flickr contrast.
Have a great weekend!
Thank you, everyone! This reached no. 3 on Explore, and made the front page! Thank you, thank you!
This photo was taken on June 10, 2012 in Chinatown, Chicago, IL, US, using a Pentax K-5.

Nice sky. I love rail yards even though the railroad frowns upon you going into them for good shots.

I love the perspective of the city from this vantage. I like how the evening sky is yielding to the sunset towards the left of the frame. I have always liked railroads and trains, so this is a treat to see in combination with the city skyline. Enjoy the weekend.

Awesome shot, even with the loss of color it still looks great, especially the sky. Makes me want to re-visit the train yard here. Well done.
