Over the weekend Julie and I took a trip to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. It was a perfect day for a little bit of a road trip and simple few hour long getaway. We arrived at the museum a little early and it was such a nice day, we decided to walk to the lakefront for a while, given we had some time to burn. This also gave us the opportunity to take a few pictures and just relax for a while.

As we made our way into the museum I was amazed at just how much it had changed since I had been there last. They had done some extensive work a few years back and all I can say is that the end result is quite impressive.

I took this image of the early morning sky the other day and the following composition is the result. Not too much post processing here, as the colors and levels have only been optimized slightly to create some additional contrast and balance. The sky can most assuredly make for an interesting artistic canvas and I feel this is reflected here. The comp is very subtle and light, but offers just enough visual presence.
