A most unusual cityscape to which the train tracks and the telephone wires add a neat abstract quality. Well seen and beautifully photographed, Bruce. f/l

Hi Bruce, love this shot of the EL tracks. Used to see this view from my office window. Made me smile. Very interesting capture. Best regards, Sharon
Bruce Bley replied:
I am glad you enjoyed this work and hope it brought back some happy memories for you. I was on a roof top watching a Cubs game when I turned around and saw the patterns of the track and thought they were very interesting and loved how the light played on them and the surrounding area. Thank you for the visit.

Wonderful photo from my hometown city of Chicago, Bruce Bley! I have ridden The Loop several times in my life--but I have to disagree with Wikipedia's abbreviation for the elevated trains of Chicago. We called it the "EL" and pronounced it as "EL" for elevated vice "L" as in the description from Wikipedia. L/F/F, ~Jeff at JSJ Photography
Bruce Bley replied:
Thank you for the kind comment and the information on the "EL". I sincerely appreciate it.
