The L

Meet one of the seven wonders of Chicago... the L.. or the el (from the word elevated). Over 720,000 people ride the L each weekday. You can pretty much get anywhere you need to go on the L. There is one particular ad for the L that I will never forget. It was something along the lines of "What is the one thing the Cubs and the White Soxs have in common? The Red line of course," (the Red Line is a popular L route). What to learn more? Start here.These were taken from Wabash & 11th Street in the South Loop.

Grant Park Statues during the Blue Hour

One of the best times to take photographs outdoors is during the blue hour. The blue hour is the period of twilight each morning and evening where there is neither full daylight nor complete darkness. The quality of light during this time period is outstanding and the sky always looks amazing. This statue is located in Grant Park and is being lit by nearby streetlights. I love the colors - the sky, the leaves, and the statue.Have you taken any photos during the Blue Hour? The next time you are out taking photos, aim to take a few during this precious time of day, you will love how they turn out.
