University of Chicago

While in Chicago over the holidays, I also spent a few hours at the University of Chicago. It's gotten to be a bit of a cliche I think to take photos there. There are photos of the campus all over Flickr, lots of blogs. Yet, it was still a place on my list to check out as I had never been there before.

Since it was over the holidays there weren't many people on campus, which meant I had it mostly to myself. Also meant a lot of the buildings were closed. Will have to go back as there were a few other places that looked interesting which I couldn't go into.

Was an okay day to shoot, not the best but not the worst. It's December in Chicago so gray skies are the norm. Also why I played around with the HDR, the un-doctored images are not all that interesting. Some snow falling would have been something to play around with, Mother Nature wasn't cooperating.
 


I think this would be a cherub,
kinda hard to tell with the vines.
