I was out exploring and shooting a couple weeks ago when Chicago was blanketed in fog. The streets of downtown were great. I was attracted to the bluish-gray hue. I enhanced the blue in the following two images in post to emphasize the mood I felt while shooting. A friend remarked that the space in between the buildings in the middle of the frame looks itself like an upside down skyscraper. It does!

The yellow of the street lighting was a nice contrast to the blue. I am not a patient photographer. I should have waited for a train to arrive at my station for additional foreground interest. I have another shot like this I took last year where there I did wait for a train, so I guess I simply felt it wasn't needed.

Then I switched to monochrome for a more gritty urban mood in the following two images. I love how the fog in the air made the lights glow. The first image was shot in my neighborhood. There is a viaduct on every block for quite a long stretch. I love them. Some of them still have exposed cobblestone. A railway runs along the top on the left side of the frame.

The lighted dots in the upper half of the frame are lights from a distant highrise. They look a bit like stars.
