This week, Cee is looking for outdoor ways to move up and down for her Black & White Photo Challenge. Here are a few of the more unconventional methods including maintenance platforms hanging from Marina Towers in downtown Chicago, a maintenance lift at the mall in Mount Prospect, the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier in Chicago and grandson bungee jumping at the Renaissance Faire.

  Thanks, Tom! It will be good to be able to get out and capture some fresh images, hopefully in a month or two.

  Thanks, Chris! I sometimes wonder if I’ll ever get to see this sight or anything else in Chicago again. However, I’m looking forward to resuming my travels in Wisconsin when things get back to semi-normal.

I was fascinated by the shapes in your first photo of the Marina Towers, and also the ferris wheel – seen plenty of ferris photos and it’s a bit surprising how much I like this but you’ve managed to get a great angle on it and b&w seems to work incredibly well here. Thanks, I feel like I’ve learned something useful from looking at these Sue. Awesome!

  Thanks so much, Liz! It always gives me the shivers when I see cars parked so close to the rails high up on Marina Towers. I can never resist taking pictures of this iconic building. And the Ferris Wheel is amazing, both the view from ground level and the one you get when you ride to the top.

  Thank you! I was a little nervous about taking a ride on the Wheel but the view from the top was well worth it.
