A beautiful fall morning in the Windy City. Sure, most of my
photos are of nature in a variety of countryscapes. But, every once in a while
this writer, who has made it known he is not a big city lover, enjoys a scenic
cityscape. I took this photo from my client provided room on the 26th floor of
the Swissotel on N. Wacker Drive overlooking the Chicago River and this
beautiful scene.
It's rather ironic that I captured this beautiful scene with
the sun shining in Chicago (where it's been my experience to find rain or snow,
overcast sky and wind). It was just a few days later that Hurricane Sandy, also
known as Superstorm Sandy, devastated the east coast of the U.S. from the Outer
Banks of North Carolina to the coast of Maine. My home state of New Jersey was
unbelievably destroyed along with the New York City metro area, Long Island and
the southern shore of New England along the Long Island Sound. The storm was so
huge that it impacted about 23 states including 20 to 30 foot waves on the
shores of Lake Michigan in the same area that I took this photo.
