Description
This is the glass elevator in the American Girl Plaza, a very strange shopping mall in the Hancock Building. By strange I mean that once you get in, it is VERY hard to get out!! We went there Saturday night for dinner (we were just too tired to walk much further than across the street!!). When we left, everything but the restaurant was closed. We got in this elevator and kept getting off on the wrong floor. When we finally did get to the street level, we couldn't find the door to get out. I tellya, they don't WANT you to leave, they just want to to stay and spend ALL your money. Boy, they didn't know who they were dealing with!!
zoom works well

Looks like you are having fun!
OOO NOOOO! Glass elevators and me don't mix. Stairs please. How COULD you take this pic?!!
OMG - fantastic... I will happily spend all YOUR money there my friend!!! Wonderful POV!!! Love it! :)
Ooh, how cool is that? Love the POV and all that glass...
I am with Andrea, your guts is comendalble maz, I have terrible virtigo, and had to skip past this image quickly :)...But it is a good shot with a scary yet brilliant POV, well done.
cool shot & story
great pov
Now, I like this a lot...absolutely no problem for me:) This is just brimming with colors, reflections and a grand DOF. I got stuck once in the Munich Airport...all glass walls...my plane boarding time was approaching fast and I couldn't find my way out of their aluminum and glass maze. Remind you of trying to get out of this store?
Another great shot! The perspective/POV is amazing. Well done.
great!
excellent capture
LOL welcome to the Midwest. That's exactly why you couldn't find the door. Great shot girl.
Beautiful glistening glassy view. Very surreal. Outstanding Marilyn!
looks far down there. wonderful pov here
Oh my gods! It's the Warp Core! I have almost this exact same shot, but I didn't get the glistening bits as sharply as you did. I like this a lot, and a lot more! Okay, I just let a Star Trek-ism slip out, but hey...that thing DOES look like a warp core! And yeah, I had no idea that the mall was such a TALL place! You caught this perfectly, and I think glass is one of your talents, which shows here perfectly! WOW!
superb image!
Wonderful POV and fun story. Great capture!
What a great shot! That was such a marvellous place to be when everyone else was gone. I loved the emptiness, even though we were momentarily turned around! (Okay ... more than once ... but still!) And the food! Gosh ... who'd have ever thought we could find food that good in a mall??
Great perspective!
Great POV, it makes a brillant abstract - are you sure they haven't built it on the site of Hotel California?
this is hard to see because I didn't get to join you all, but it's a vital burst of a shot. (And that's where you ate saturday night! I'm sorry I couldn't have been with you all...) As for it being empty, part of it may have been the end of the holiday, but it's always a trip to be in a massive building when few people are around...Anyway, none of that addresses your shot: A real burst of light & reflection & line & glass & metal, and of course that plunge of looking down into the abyss. Another "Marilyn" shot, for all its movement & vitality & light, and I agree that glass is one of your things as Chip says: You and Tara both have such a thing for it, yet you both do it in uniquely different ways. A vital fugue of a shot, and I'm glad the food was good: I figured you guys would go to Reza's again! (They owe me a free dessert!) So you got inside the Hancock: Did you go into the parking garage, lol? It's a kind of ugly building, but it's classic for Chicago, and it's great that you were looking right into it from your bedroom window...
Cool!
Beautifully composed matey!
OH WOW ! I was sent in here by Chipka and I am glad I was. This is a marvellous shot. Well done :-)
