One of the things I most love about living in Chicago, especially the lakeside neighborhood of Edgewater on the far north side, is the juxtaposition of bustling urban life and the raw forces of nature.
These videos exemplify my favorite time to take videos and pictures. The sun is to the West of the clouds, so it sets them in stark contrast, yet provides very bright light to the surroundings. The time of year is perfect too- early spring when the new foliage has that wonderful fresh "new growth" green.
This series features construction workers on the top of a new building working with a crane, Darwinian cyclists running the stop signs at a busy intersection, a really smashed up car, seagulls in a standoff, the stunning lakeshore, and of course- WIND!
Two of the videos feature my dear little papillon dogs and the tenacious sedum I brought with me here from Indianapolis.
