Skokie Lagoons in Winter at Sunset



While biking on the Skokie Lagoon scanning for birds to
 photograph I happened upon several breathtaking scenes that I tried 
to capture with my camera. For both of these, I didn't take any time to
 set up the shot because I wanted to preserve that feeling of seeing
 the giant cloud or red ice for the first time.


I'm giving the vertical landscapes a try. I've recently started studying
 Ansel Adam's photography and I've noticed that he splits his landscapes
 into vertical sections and puts a lot more emphasis on the section
 which attests to the landscape's immensity. I think I successfully 
did that in the bottom photo, and the top one just has nice colors.
