Chicago on the river

Marina City
Filed in Architecture, Black and White, Canon 18-55, Canon 20D, Chicago, Landscape, Photography, Photos, United States, Urban, VehiclesMarina City in Chicago is made up of two 65 storey towers with a distinctive circular shape.

As usual the Wikipedia [...]

Filed in Architecture, Candid, Canon 18-55, Canon 20D, Chicago, People, Photography, Photos, Street, United States, Urban, VehiclesLa Salle Street in Chicago ends abruptly in the Chicago Board of Trade at the far end of the street.

Ryanair’s bumpy landing
Filed in Canon 20D, Cork, Ireland, Look up, Photography, Photos, Sigma 18-200, Sky, VehiclesWill Ryanair face a bumpy landing this year? Shots taken at Cork Airport of a Ryanair flight coming in to land. There are two small cottages just down the road from where I stood with children playing in the garden of one. I guess you get used to the engine whine after a while.

Top up your phone here

Or something. An opportunistic shot I took in Blackpool Shopping Center of a van passing by. I think it’s an An Post van.

They used to handle Japanese imports and sell [...]
