Grant Park +, Wabash Ave Street Art & Early Fall Colors at GPC - MyShadowProductions #213

Howdy everyone, what’s happening in your world?

Here is a collage of a recent sunrise and sunset, one of Nature’s many Free Shows :)

I have some videos to share that I have been trying to think of an interesting way to tie them all together but that’s not happening :)

With that in mind I will share them and let the pictures/videos express the “thousand words” that I am failing to conjure up.

VIDEO 1 is created from my photos one weekend day in Chicago (just happened to be the Marathon) walking to and around Grant Park and a few from the Lincoln Park area on a different day. WATCH VIDEO 1 NOW. How many people in the Video taking pictures can you count??

VIDEO 2 is created from my photos walking north along Wabash Ave from Roosevelt Rd to Ida B Wells Dr in the South Loop area. WATCH VIDEO 2 NOW.

VIDEO 3 is created from my photos at Garfield Park Conservatory (GPC) as I get a chance to enjoy the Nature after each of my volunteer shifts, it makes Wednesdays and many Fridays pretty special, grateful for the opportunity. WATCH VIDEO 3 NOW.

I mentioned in a previous Post that I had a certain area in mind to try and capture some Fall Colors. That idea is still developing slowly as the colors seem hesitant to appear and it isn’t practical for me to visit the area on a daily basis but I have some days in mind for late this week and early next week that should work ok (if Mother Nature cooperates :). In the meantime, some teaser pictures :)

 

Of course, Aurora has Colors too, here are a few views in the area, trees are starting to change daily now so I will try to give a peak at what fall looks like in my neck of the woods :) in my next Post.

Have a GREAT DAY !!!

 & 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!! 

Wait, I almost forgot, on September 28 I went to the Chicago Park District Volunteer Appreciation Day at the Brighton Park Community Campus in South Chicago. It is a nice gesture for the volunteers and members of the different Alliances/Groups that partner with the Park District for the benefit of the Parks.

It was my first time on the L Orange Line, pretty exciting, right? :)

I made a Video from my pictures and videos during the event - it is fairly long so I assume if you choose to watch it that you might want to “fast forward” a time or two?? 

There is no background music for this Video but leave your Speaker on.

As I compiled the Video I noticed that besides the entertainers there is quite an opportunity for “people watching” as well - hope you enjoy it!
