Those Moody Blues

While I was looking through photographs for this color post, I found it a little ironic I had so many shots with blue the central color...compensating for the lack of the hue in nature...possibly...

'Harring In Pieces'

' Waiting Memorial'

'Jacob's Ladder'

'Warm Wacker, Cool Chicago'

Late Lament


Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy spent


Impassioned lovers wrestles as one
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young


Cold hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colors from our sight
Red is grey and yellow white
But we decided which is right 
And which is an illusion?
~Graeme Edge from the song Nights in White Satin

Things Looking Up

When it comes to finding little surprises in Chicago, look up...she will not fail you.

 James R Thompson Illinois Building*

*Architecture buffs find the Thompson Building marvelous...I suppose...even tho' I find it another example of tacky 70's design...but why I've included it in this post is because it's the first intentional lens flare I've captured...something I do enjoy creating.

Things Looking Down

Mother used to say, "Don't look at your feet when you walk.  You're going to trip."  I say, "Look!"  You'd be surprised what you find.

YELLOW Mellow?

 "Big Bertha's Joint"

 "Chicago Loop"

"Lemon Heads"

ORANGE You Glad...

A National Treasure, 

Ken Nordine gives his take on 

ORANGE!

The Entropy Project

It could be I've become more keenly aware that time marches on...that or I just find as time breaks down the subject becomes more fascinating...a few from The Entropy Project (on going).

A Greek Tragedy Redux & Underfoot

Ah summer and all the glorious road work and 

the Greek chorus it brings!

Underfoot: An Earth Mover

Empty seats means busy feet, 

but the headache is gettin' worse, boys!
