Little Flamingo

This lovely photo of Alexander Calder's sculpture Flamingo was taken from the top of the Sears Tower by Katie Scully. The perfect straightness of the buildings give it a cool designed edge, but the warm colors add a friendliness and playfulness to the photo. Basically, it rocks.
'Flamingo' is one of my favorite sculptures, but, I gotta say, the name is awful, sorry Alex.

Again with the shrinkify effect, more commonly known as 'tilt-shift.' This is a photo from Hubbard Street in Chicago, right behind Michigan Avenue. I did some pretty complex masking in Photoshop to simulate a tight focus. Look at the tall lamp post on the right and you'll see what I'm talking about...

Even living in the city you get amazing views of nature, sometimes.

Almost unbelievable photos of an erupting volcano in Chile getting hit by a lightning storm.
"Cases of electrical storms breaking out directly above erupting volcanoes are well documented, although scientists differ on what causes them."
