Very nicely composed. Nice light and colors, too! :)

I'm happy you made it home safe and sound; the jetlag will ease eventually, but don't you just hate that out of it feeling? This is lovely! I wish we had some tall ships here, they have some beautifully graceful lines... It was wonderful to finally meet you!

I can only imagine your experiences there. This is a very interesting view of the cityscape. Wonderful reds and blues. Welcome back! Clive

What a wonderful view of the city!! We walked all along the lake and I saw Navy Pier from a distance. Sounds like your travels were simply great!!

FANTASTIC view! Gorgeous picture!!!!!!!!

great pic!

Wonderful and a new view we haven't seen before!

SUPERB! OUTSTANDING IMAGE!

A beautiful capture of the skyline and the tall ship. Lovely colouring.

Wonderful capture, Carin Glad you made it home safely

Excellent capture Carin beautiful ship and skyline. Next time your in the city(San Francisco) I will show you some of the ships at the pier.

Mighty pretty, and composed magically within an anachronistic setting. Glad to hear you got home safe and sound. Now, can you take the next couple of days off to rest up???

Stunning capture Carin. I can imagine what an experience it is to visit any other country.May that also be possible for me to to one day.Welcome back to South Africa.

Lovely. I do like a good crow's nest!

Nice way to view the skyline! Sounds like a great trip had and it's good your home safely.

WHat a lovely shot of the city and the beautiful ship. WOnderful blue sky, as you said. But I see the ice, so it was surely cold.

Ag, Dierbaar ... it's good to know you're safely home, but of course I wish you were still in Seattle! It will take some time to get used to sleeping all day and working during the night, but you'll become re-adjusted soon enough. :P Once you're back on track, we'll have a nice long visit and get caught up again. This is a wonderful shot! We didn't get to Navy Pier when we were there, and it's such a treat to see this view! Excellent image.

Nice shot It sure looks cold but at least Its bright.

Wonderful composition and rather attractive skyline. Glad you had a safe trip.

It makes a very interesting image

magnificent cross between old & new!!!!!!!!

Wonderful capture , Carin !Beautiful photo !

Glad you got back safely and I bet you do have Jet Lag as well.. I most certainly do.. lol Tall ships! I love them, beautiful, elegent, magestic.. There is just something about them and this shot is a fabulous one.. Well shot Carin. Rob

Very interesting image...genial el POV

Glad you home safe, 4 weeks went quick.xxx Lovely photo, looked a lovely if not cold day!!!

Welcome home! I hope that your journey was very interesting and productive! The photo is simply superb! Great lighting! :)

Hey, how did you get Chicago to cooperate like that? Okay, it didn't cooperate in terms of temperature, but hey...most Chicagoans can't even get shots like that. Ah, the city likes you! This is a great shot too, from a place I have yet to actually photograph. Navy Pier is like that: it's one of the marvels of this city, but it's not a place often visited by people who live here. Funny how that works. It has an interesting history too...there was once a guy who'd set himself on fire and jump into the lake from a high diving board...ah Chicago...such tasteful entertainment comes out of this town. This is a great shot, and I actually know that ship. Not personally, but I've seen it on the lake. It's nice to see where it lives! This really rocks, and it brings back memories of the following day! Marvelous!

fantastic verticals!

Fantastic POV Carin and look forward to seeing more of the ship. I can see four masts so far - it must be huge. Dana
