Green Chicago, a photo from Illinois, Midwest

Photographer's Note

A scene from Millenium Park in Chicago. Seen from this angle, the many skyspcrapers of Chicago seem to grow directly up from the green lawn in Millenium Park. In the middle of the picture you can see the roof of the scene from where many outdoor conserts are being held.

Hello Erling,
Unmistakably Chicago with its elegant modern towers on a row along the green fields of Millennium Park, which also adds some nice patches of purple here. Excellent sharpness and clarity.

A fairly distant point to show the Chicago modern skyscrapers from the park side, Erling, a good idea to combine green lung on the urban scene.
They look similar - but each is very different in its design.
Good evening,
Ike

Hej Erling,
En ganska överraskande bild av skyskrapsghettot i Chicago. Det ser nästan ut som om du tog bilden från en nordisk sommaräng fylld med naturligt växande vilda blommor. Men jag antar att hela parken är lika noggrant planerad in i minsta detalj som skyskraporna och deras omgivning. Men en fin och originell bild är det, och flera av de här byggnaderna är verkligen vackra. Effekten av det gröna fältet nedanför raden av stålgrå skyskrapor är slående. En mycket vältagen bild med enastående skärpa och lyster.
Hälsningar,
Gert

Hello

Bravo et amitié

Bonjour, Erling,
Félicitations pour cette mise en image très originale et fort bien pensée avec ces tours qui veulent s'amuser à toucher les nuages quand le ciel se fait moins bleu.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Erling, Nice picture from your archive. interesting collection of the high buildings. They seem to match well with each other, are in the similar style, it doesn't happen so often. I like especially the one on the right side of the theater, with the uneven surface. Nice garden.

Kind regards Malgo

Hello Erling,
This is a great POV. Nature and architecture combine to create a strong composition. I like all the sleek skyscrapers, and the flowers dotting the foreground are beautiful, too. Very nice. :-)

Hello Erling,
You would indeed say that these skyscrapers were built in a nature reserve. Your chosen point of view reinforces this illusion strongly.
Yet remarkable (but very good) that in places where space is expensive people have still created open spaces that work very relaxing.
The buildings all have more or less the same grey tones but the many flowers provide a colourful foreground.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Erling,
Wonderful panorama of Chicago's skyscrapers with wild flowers in the FG.
The quality of the photo is without objection.
