Check out the Chicagoist page here. . . this is a scene from the August Critical Mass ride in downtown Chicago. Very beautiful weather, very large crowd this time, and there was some definite congestion heading out of the downtown area.
We started out from Dearborn/Washington, riding south through Financial District and into Greektown. The ride was very cool as always, but kinda blah, uninteresting this time. When I thought the route was turning south to Pilsen, I got excited, but then we headed north up to Ukie Village/Bucktown.

Check out the Chicagoist page here... taken on a night ride through Fulton Market. This is on Green Street where it crosses the Kennedy. Very cool motion-blur shot, I had to tone down all the distracting orangey tones from the streetlights.

Bike ride through Northwest woods
I biked up Kostner to Foster, taking Pulaski up to Bryn Mawr, and headed west. The Valley Line Trail is at Kostner, but going further west there is a clearing and trail along the river branch just south of Bryn Mawr. . .
I headed east on the trail, until I wasn't sure where I was located anymore, and this beautiful deer was alongside the trail, 4 feet away and staring at me. I had no idea how it would react so I grabbed a shot and left the scene.

Very cool! :-) Check out the WBEZ page here. . . B&W shot taken Thursday night at Belmont & Cicero. I like the patterns that the window awnings create in the background.

2475 N. Milwaukee Ave. - featured in Chicagoist "Extra, Extra" 8/5/2010
Check out the Chicagoist page here. This shot is from yesterday evening... I was on a bike ride around 8 PM in Logan Square. I was headed south and saw the reflection of the sky behind me in some windows... I had to stop there and catch some pictures before the sky turned. The colors were absolutely gorgeous, so warm and fantastic. The puddle creates a perfect, almost surreal reflection...

Check out the Chicagoist page here. Photo taken at North and California Aves on a sunny morning... just a woman waiting for the bus. I like how the patterns and the lines act as a background.
