Trees in Silhouette
- Chicago Skyline
Short post this morning, as I’m out of town today, visiting family in Chicago. I took the opportunity, however, to get out before everyone awoke, in order to take some sunrise pictures from a different vantage point than my usual spots. I got out just as the sun was rising, which was a little later than ideal. Oftentimes you will get better and more diverse colors in the sky just before the sun rises – mixing blues and reds in the predawn sky.
The Chicago Skyline picture features the John Hancock building, towering above the building right along the shoreline of Lake Michigan. Turning around, I noticed the still baren trees silhouetted against the rising yellow sun. One of the advantages of early morning photo trips is that there are rarely people wandering around getting in the way of your subject. On this trip, all I had to contend with were the early morning fisherman who were clearly focused on watching their fishing poles.
