Description
I have quite a few pictures from the brief time that Chicago was enhanced (immensely) by the official Renderosity Ninja Photographers. After taking an interestingly circuitous route to the Museum Campus (Why the bus didn't go straight down Michigan Avenue, I don't know...but I don't understand the logic of the Chicago Transit Authority with their annual budget crises and such.) Anyway, the wild gaggle of Renderosity Ninjas finally disembarked from one of those buses with the accordion-like segment in the middle, and immediately began snapping pictures (of fallen moons and each other...and anything else in camera range.) We also spent a lot of time going "oooh" and "aah" just like real tourists, but unlike tourists, we were having too much real fun, and...well...taking pictures of bug and small details and such things. It was a day full of fantastic moments, and this image marks one of them. I've always like Chicago's lakefront, especially near the Adler Planetarium and the Shedd Aquarium. You can see the corner of the Adler Planetarium here.) Somewhere to the right, just out of frame, Cheri has just taken a photo of her own. I remember that distinctly, because she made that Ninja Photographer giggle that one always makes when snagging a good shot...a perfectly-timed shot. There were so many of those that day, and this is one of mine. I was also pleased that we actually had sunlight!
As always, thank you for viewing and reading and commenting, and hopefully you're all having a great week.

Nice shot! Sounds like you had a great time!
It's so hard to remember that it's a lake, it seems as large as a sea! Great shot, and it does sound like you all had a wonderful time...
Oh... heaven on earth! Stunning POV and overall image of this wonderful body of water Chip!!! :) Congrats on your LWIG!!!! :)
This was such an incredible day. I remember standing next to each other taking the shots. This was a really great day we have to repeat and as often as we can. Chip this is a really great shot, and next time we go over and explore the views we can get from those stop!
This is NOT how I imagined Chicago! It looks wonderful, not a skyscraper in sight in this pic!
wonderful compo and colors too.hughs.
Amazing capture!!!! Hugs.
Beautiful image!
Wow, very nice! A place I need to visit :)
The color of the water looks tropical! Beautiful POV and a really lovely shot.
superb!!!!
I think I was down even further to the right. How fascinating, to see other people's photographs when one was actually there, snapping away! The same place, yet a totally different image. I will remember that day as one of the happiest, relaxed times of my life. What a joy it was!
Beauty..
great shot missing the warm weather already.
What a gorgeous beach and that water looks really inviting. I love the ripples here.
Im like this one my friend.What a scenic view which seems to never end.
