This week, Amy is looking for comparisons between Old and New for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. I suppose, for me, the best examples of old and new can be found in the architecture of downtown Chicago. Although the buildings in the city can in no way be considered old when compared to some of the more ancient edifices in other parts of the world, there is still a noticeable difference between past and present.
Nice examples for this challenge. And I love the architecture of this city!!!!
Thanks, Rusha! I sometimes wonder, with everything that’s been going on over the past few months, whether I’ll ever feel safe going down there again. I hope, in time, things will change.
Love these photos, would love to visit Chicago.
Thank you, Victoria. Normally, Chicago is a fabulous place to visit. We’ve seen some bad times over the past few months but hopefully it will pass and then things will return, better and brighter than ever.
Good contrasts. The old appeal to me most.
Thanks, Tom! I’m with you. You can’t beat the old buildings for character and detail.
The perfect city for the challenge Sue – well done!
Thanks, Tina! I hope that things will be back to something like normal there eventually.
The contrasts of these buildings are beautifully captured. Great choices!
Thank you, Amy!
Excellent. Chicago is a great town for architecture, IMO. The Water Tower, the brass doors and elevator at the Palmer House, the Chicago Cultural Center building, to name just a few more.
Thanks, John! Chicago certainly is a city filled with interesting sights.
These are beautiful pictures.
Thank you, Victoria Rose. And thanks for stopping by.
Nice views. It’s been many years since I visited Chicago. Will never forget seeing the bridges across the river with all the buildings in the background.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I’ve always been, at heart, a city girl, but sadly with everything that’s going on right now, it will probably be a while before I get to see these sights again.
good watching
Thank you for stopping by.
