Description

I hope you all like doors, because I've got enough for a series! Chicago is full of beautiful architecture, and I could spend weeks there just shooting doorways. This one reflects Lake Michigan and Lakeshore Drive. I stood there for the longest time waiting for a car-free shot! (And notice I'm not in there, either. I'm hiding behind the post.) :P The imperfect reflection is because the glass in the doorway is old and wavy, and the panes aren't perfectly aligned. I love old glass - it has so much character!

This is gorgeous...one of my all time favorites! WOW! WOW! You know, if you like the doors in Chicago...and they are awesome...you should see the ones in Prague, even the grotty ones with peeling paint and communist era graffiti, but anyway, that's not really related to this! THIS is a gorgeous photograph. If you didn't say it was in Chicago, I wouldn't have guessed that it is, though the Gold Coast has some awesomely gorgeous doors. I love the clarity in this marvel, and th elight as well. This is amazing and it makes me want to live in Chicago...oh wait...I do live in Chicago! Well...this makes Chicago a bit more fun. Wonderful work!

You are absolutely right, old doors do hold some fascinations for me as well, probably because we can't get through them all...maybe a good thing ? Super shot, Cheers BB
