At the top of the steps leading to Millennium Park, the sun was setting and the street lights were coming on. The city was alive with lights and people. The following pictures were some of my favorite of the day. I love dusk pictures because everything is so beautiful, especially with all of the city lights.
The Bean was alive with tourists as I sat on a concrete bench in Millennium Park. I was playing around with some of the features on my camera and I loved the way this picture turned out. The people are blurred in their movements, but that is okay, because I didn't care about the people as much as I cared about the horizon reflected within the sculpture.
This picture is of the Art Institute of Chicago while the sun was setting. The building itself is so beautiful with the lights and windows. There is a man on a bike up ahead, and in the shot taken about two seconds before this one, he was right next to me, but blurred. His movements were so fast and swift compared to the people around him. He can be seen in this shot, still in movement, way up ahead of everyone else in the background.
Crossing the street to the Art Institute; after an action packed day, I was pretty much relieved to head back to the bus. In this picture, I tried to capture the cars as they zoomed over the busy crosswalk. The colors of Chicago at night are stunning.
While I was waiting for the bus, I took this picture of the city. The honey color of the streetlights with the deep blue sky complement each other to make the white windows of the buildings stand out. The Art Institute was far enough away from the tall buildings to hold onto traces of nature with the hedges, so this picture also shows a contrast between city and nature.
My last picture of Chicago; I loved how the cars sped by and how even though my trip was about to end, there were people in the city who were just beginning theirs.
