On the winter horizon at sunset, the city of Chicago shines like the golden city of El Dorado. The setting sun is reflected in the glass of the buildings approximately 40 miles across frozen Lake Michigan, giving the horizon a magical glow.
Following a day of walking on the frozen shores of Lake Michigan, we decided to capture the sunset and the golden light on the drift ice of the lake. Upon arrival, we noticed the ice was in shadow, and not illuminated at all. One glance up to the distant horizon and the glowing, golden city caught our attention.
The angle of the sun in relation to the city and us was in perfect alignment to create this golden glow. I suppose just a mile down the shore, and the glow would not exist at that point.
As I've seen so many times before, plans often don't work out, but if you keep your eyes open, something always take the place of the original plan.
