Opposite side
When I take photos of this place, I usually do it from the place which is right in the middle of this photo :). For those that never been to Prague, if you were standing there you would get the classic view of the castle and the Charles bridge. But this time I took a photo from the other side. Taken early in the morning.. right after the sunrise.

Rainbow over Hyatt
Today I browsed into some of my much older photos :) This one is from my visit to Birmingham two years ago. So no tripod used, only 3 brackets and a worse camera :) Could have used improvements in all of these. You never know how much you will miss the extra brackets, once you need them. But as the Canon 450D only takes 3 on AEB, I had no other choice. I think it's quite obvious what I was taking photo of here :). I don't know why there was a rainbow, as it wasn't raining that day.

Sunset reflection
Again an older photo, taken earlier this year. As soon as the weather gets better in Bratislava (and the sky won't be just grey), I plan to revisit Kuchajda lake for some nice Panorama shots :) I know, that as long as there won't be much wind, the reflection will be perfect :)
I was alone photographing the interior of the People's Gas Pavilion at Lincoln Park, but I kept feeling that someone was watching me.
 
A Lesser Photographer
On the This Week in Photo Podcast, I learned about another CJ in the Chicago area.  CJ Chilvers runs the A Lesser Photographer website and wrote the free Lesser Photographer Manifesto eBook. The book is a quick and interesting read. I think that CJ is talking to me when he talks about photographers getting too wrapped up in gear and not concentrating on creating art.  I think that you should give it a read and check out his website.
On our photo walk on Saturday, we went by a couple of my favorite locations.  This is one of them.  I've shot this a bunch of times during the day.  This was my first time at blue hour.

I'm thinking about doing a March photo walk at the University of Chicago with Matt Frankel.  We can do a Chicago Botanic Garden walk in the spring. Do you have any other ideas for photo walk locations in Chicago or surrounding areas? Let me know in the comments.
