On my way to Norway recently, I had a quick overnight halt in Chicago where I decided to go check out one of the local favorites: The Adler Planetarium Skyline Walk. I picked this location after most of you on social media seemed to say that the Adler Planetarium was the place to be to enjoy the best skyline views. Having been to the other skyline viewpoint on my last week, the North Avenue Beach, I decided to try something different for my morning shoot. Little did I know that I would be absolutely drenched by the lake on my morning photography walk. Lately the surf on Lake Michigan has been so rough that city authorities have been posting warnings about swimming and other activities along the lake front.
I am assuming I should’ve checked those advisories before deciding to get up close and personal with the lake.
