60 degrees in Chicago today, pics from Navy Pier

inTempus · Feb 10, 2009

Last week it was 10 degrees and we got 2ft of snow. A week later it's t-shirt weather... 60 degrees and sunny. I took a stroll around Chicago's Navy Pier with my trusty Canon. Here's a few pics from today.

You should have taken some from the ferris wheel... Cool stuff though.

It was around 65 degrees in Flint, Michigan, yet everyone I saw was still wearing a coat.

That's because they know in 2 hours it could be 10 below zero again.

awesome shots. I was just there back in Sept. 2008.

That last one is nice! I like it. Though we never had cold weather like you seem to get on your side of The Pond (Gulf Stream Climate here), we still don't get such spring like temps here at this time of the year, either. But how I wish ... more so now that I'm viewing your photos...!

LoL you got that right, Michigan weather sucks and is very unpredictable.

Sorry guy, I accidentally broke the link to 3 of the images. Now fixed.

Thanks for all the kind words.

I've never been to Germany, I would love to come visit... with my camera!

wow, now thats some color saturation! Good shots. I wonder what a polarizer would have done for you.

I have a polarizer for my kit lens, but I haven't picked one up for my 24-70 or the 70-200. Luckily those two both have a 77mm objective so I can get by with buying just one high quality filter. I'll do that by the time summer rolls around.

I am thinking about a UV filter too... not show how it would have changed that pic.
