The Magical Buckingham Fountain!!!

-
So decided to go to Buckingham Fountain in Chicago and have to say it is so beautiful to witness first hand. Being a travel photographer I am always looking for new places to take photos but have to say I love this place so much. I would recommend this place to anyone coming to Chicago. It is right by the lake shore. Buckingham Fountain was created in 1927. Most of the buildings were not even around then. They had to build most of the buildings around Buckingham Fountain. Just FYI the fountains full name was  Clarence F. Buckingham.

 

Location: Chicago, IL, USA

I love your night shots of Buckingham Fountain when it’s all lit up but this is such a cool shot with the fountain against the buildings and clouds.

Great shot, Mike! Our many Chicago buildings, as diverse as they are in their beauty and architecture, rather surrealistically serve here as mere backdrop to the majesty of this gorgeous fountain!

My favorite City in Illinois, Galena Love this Town

-

 This town has so much to offer. Discovered in 1826 it is amazing to walk down the street and see all the buildings and imagine yourself without a car and riding in a horse drawn carriage. The people here are so friendly. The best time to come is anytime. There is always something to do. Enjoy walking through Mangelsen Gallery which is one of the best galleries I have ever been to. He has been doing photography for over 50 years. The best Nature photographer in the world. I met Tom a few months ago at his traveling Gallery at Lincoln Park zoo and what a genuine guy. If you get a chance just visit some time you wont regret it. This is Thunder Bay Falls right in the territory of Galena. What an amazing waterfall for Illinois. Last time I was there 2 months ago it was so Icy you could not even walk on it. When you are in Galena make sure you visit this spot you will love it.

Favorite Beach in Florida Clearwater Beach

Why is this my favorite beach in Florida? There is so much to do including the sunsets and the amazing shore line.  This bird was very happy and flew over my head about 10 times. He finally posed for me.   Visitors to Clearwater Beach can fly to Tampa International Airport which is only 20 miles away.  The sunset cruise looked so inviting but when we got there they had made there last run. Next time I come here I will make sure I go on this boat. It is so amazing being from Chicago to see so much to do in such a short strip. Here is a prime example of an amazing sunset at Clearwater beach. If you do come here I recommend the Clearwater Hilton Hotel. Hope to see you here very soon. The sand is so smooth here and fun to explore.  Add caption

The Best View of Chicago

-
Image
Alot of you know this building as Sears Tower if your from Chicago but it is now known as the Willis Tower. This in my opinion is the best view of Chicago. When you are 1453 feet up in the air and get views like this it is hard to top it. It is $25 per person to go up here and I love this place alot but do not recommend the express pass at $75 per person. The day we went we were there for over 2 hours and shot the whole time. I love the transition from blue hour to dark. I would love to hear your opinion on other views of Chicago. I know this is my first blog but want to know other places you want me to talk about.
