Description
Like all men from Chicago, I am well accustomed to the absence of color. Such is the nature of the swamp-city named for onions. On the day of fallen leaves, I searched for color and found only variations of its absence. Such is the case in an urban center, its core of sky-touching towers declaring pious devotion to the holy triumvirate of banking, trade, and insurance. There are colors, however. Everywhere. Some are simply more internal than others.

Plain, simple and simply gorgeous!!
I have a different view of cities and their color. I find the absence of it to be an amplification of the extreme. I do like the simplicity of this shot which is so very different from the city. :-)
Very well said. CC
This is wonderfully done! I love the stark simplicity. You've broken every rule there is, and it works perfectly!
Stunningly elegant in its simplicity; beautiful!
love it it meens so much in todays world.
Most remarkable! As Tara says..., and it makes an engaging image. I could not live in a city such as yours, I should shrivel.
Very beautiful!
Simple, yet complex. Beautifully done.
A striking minimalist foto presentation, Chip.
Isn't it marvelous how you can find beauty anywhere?
This is evocative and emotional.You are a person taking the small / large beauties of nature. Most people put their foot on top of that beautiful sheet.Great capture.I love the contrast.fav.
I love how spare and stark this picture is! The sheer simplicity of the image and the contrast of the colors are striking and nicely done. I also like the soft/hard juxtipositioning of the organic leaf against the man-made concrete. Simple and perfect. A classic.
