Since the launch of the new Looper at the end of June, I have pretty much kept to a Monday thru Friday posting schedule, ignoring the weekend. Now I know that my Saturday/Sunday readership is about 1/3rd of weekdays, so I thought maybe I should just put up one image for the weekend. This being a long weekend, I probably won’t post again until Tuesday, then again, you probably won’t read this until then either.

So for the image I chose… Often when walking home after work, I meander through the streets of the Loop, camera at the ready. But there are also plenty of days when I want to just walk home, or I have to be somewhere. The short route is directly down Washington Street (or is it Avenue?). I have taken countless pictures of the Loop from Washington Street, but this angle is a first. I took about eight shots of this scene, this being the best. What I like about it is that it captures that sense of the rush to get home. I also really like how the heat rising from the vehicles blurs the train above. This causes only the sides to be in focus, with the central portion a bit of a blur.

I don’t know if the “One for the Weekend” will stick around, but depending on the response, it may be back…. Have a great weekend!
