Elevated, late-afternoon scene on a cloudy day looking out over rush-hour traffic in a large city; hundreds of cars are heading west toward a large, multi-level bridge which, as it touches the land, crosses with a long, elevated subway track that has just come up from the water; these tracks split in several directions at a couple of points, but the one leading straight from our vantage point serves the N and W lines; they also serve the R and 7 lines which take you to different destinations; the days are short now, so the lights are on in the subway cars as their elevated trestle passes over the autumn trees and red taillights of the automobiles below; tall buildings rise up all around the crossing, helping to form part of the new and growing skyline of this part of the city; in the distance however, on the other side of the massive bridge, is a much larger and taller group of skyscraper buildings which make up a small part of the most iconic city skyline in the world.

Daytime scene from an elevated position in a large city, facing toward a group of high-rise and skyscraper buildings near a city park filled with healthy summer trees and toward a long set of elevated subway train tracks that extend to a larger and more well-known group of skyscrapers in the distance; a train platform shed is visible there and, below the elevated tracks, a busy city street with cars, trucks and taxi cabs; the clouds have been intermittently allowing some blue sky to peek through and are currently lightly scattered in the sky, as reflected in one of the closer glass skyscraper buildings, along with the reflections of other buildings.

Early evening view on a cloudy day just before a thunderstorm, looking upward toward a tall, concrete, subway train bridge as a train is passing; the front of the eastbound subway train displays an illuminated red diamond with the number seven inside of it, indicating that it is an express 7 train, which runs during peak times like rush hour; in the background are some empty metal frames for billboards and some large buildings, including some skyscrapers; the entire scene is under heavy clouds as the rain is about to start.

Evening street scene after dark, looking down a city sidewalk towards a row of small businesses; most prominent is a giant inflatable chef, holding a plate of food and waving frantically to attract customers to a Halal restaurant that features döner kebab; it smells amazing and the inflatable chef, illuminated by the streetlamp above him, brightens the mood of passers-by; in the distance is a bank and the entrance to a subway train station for the elevated N and W lines; overhead and to the right is the elevated subway bridge, complete with a stopped N train loading passengers and preparing for departure.

A white SUV crosses the intersection underneath Chicago's elevated train track. the buildings either side are visible, one modern and shiny, the other old and brick. The sun is top left and casts strong shadows. The camera is directly under the El, facing south.

Daytime scene waiting at a red traffic signal on a busy streer under a vast network of elevated subway train tracks as numerous cars pass through the crossing; in addition to the traffic lights, the aging and faded, green-painted overhead structure has affixed to its posts signs instructing drivers to "keep intersection clear" and to "wait for green light"; in the foreground, on the street, is a faded pedestrian crossing (zebra) and very much sunlight pours in from outside the elevated train structure.

Daytime view of a portion of city skyline with elevated subway train tracks running through a mix of older, industrial buildings and modern skyscraper buildings; in the foreground is a group of fully-leaved trees in a small park; in the distance, there is another skyline of a different part of the city - the more well-known central business and entertainment district; the sky is completely overcast with a light mist.

The Myrtle/Broadway platform on the JMZ, looking further into Brooklyn. For this I took a 1px slice across the image and transformed it vertically into the stripes and then pushed it to the background.

Playing with effects I've seen others do...
This is the Myrtle/Broadway stop on the JMZ line, looking out into Brooklyn.
