The Skokie Lagoons are somewhat ugly year-round and I never really
thought of taking photos there until several months ago. I guess this looks
a bit more like a transcendentalist painting than how the Lagoons actually
are, but I like that. The exaggerated colors, the calmness of the birds (or the
single bird in the top photo), and the vibrant water all give a strong
argument for Winnetkans to visit the Lagoons; which they should because
it's nice to have nature like this within walking distance of your home.
Throughout fall I biked to the Lagoons to practice landscape photography.
They were taken in autumn during sunset, which is
the perfect time for photographing trees.
