Spring and the Chicago River



It's neat how the clean and quiet forest around the Chicago 
River contrasts the noisy and urban western suburbs. Unlike the 
northern half of the trail, patches of colorful wild flowers manage
 to bloom and the River isn't surrounded by a wall of shrubs so 
its bank can be easily accessed.


Since there wasn't anything specific that stood out, I tried to capture
 the serene and springlike scene in one frame. A narrow focal length
 helped me single out a particular section and a slow shutter speed 
highlighted the vibrant colors.
