Chicago -- in the Spring

           Chicago is a great city to visit any time of the year and spring is no exception. April and May offer easier access to many attractions that are quite crowded in the summer and the downtown floral displays are spectacular. If you are a photographer that enjoys shooting architecture, as I do, then Chicago is a little bit of heaven. Whether; you hike the streets with your camera or board a boat and shoot the skyline of the windy city, you are certain to end each day with a wealth of awesome exposures. Great images can also be had from above the city, by taking the elevator to the top of the John Hancock building or what once was the Sears Tower. The bird's eye view of the rooftops and shoreline make for unique compositions and lasting memories. Chicago is terrific whenever you visit, especially if you are a photographer.
          I hope you enjoy the Chicago pictures that I have chosen for this issue of my blog and will leave a brief comment, pro or con, at the bottom of the page. I also hope you didn't have a problem locating my blog this time, as my address has changed to just keithvanstone.com from keithvanstone.blogspot.com
