The Great Lake of Chicago

Perfect!
The Great Lake of Chicago by Stuck in Customs.
This was taken with nine exposures on a late summer evening in Chicago. The light made the lake have sort of a Caribbean blue color. It was one of my few trips there where I did not absolutely freeze to death or get shredded by ice crystals in monsoon-strength winds.

Best view is Large on Black

I'm trying to imagine where you were standing in order to get these images.. how very amazing (especially viewed large on black).. Funny that you mention ice crystals as this looks like a cityscape carved out of ice... quite beautiful

I'm ever fascinated by the HDR process. I did try it once but in the end when it was to meld together my computer couldn't handle it.. lol

This is one of the most impressive shots of the city, along with the sky with a hue of tangerine and the aqua blue bay which reminds me of how all oceans should usually appear; crystal clean water that glows with a healthy shade of blue. This is unusually beautiful, a work of art.

Love this one. The very, very bottom (dead center) has the tip-top of my old building, 1000 N. Lakeshore Drive. (corner of Michigan and Oak). You did a fantastic job capturing the energy and beauty of the area.
