On our 7th day we reached Chicago, IL after driving for about 2700 miles. Its 10:30 PM CST and about 15 degrees Fahrenheit outside with wind chills close to 2 degrees now, as I just returned from an hour and a half night photography in the downtown Chicago.

The drive had been through Iowa and Illinois with the landscape very uneventful except for the strong cross winds that blew from 20 to 25 mph for most of the drive across Iowa. The better part of the drive was the glorious sunny sky and no snow during the entire day. The image below is taken on I-88 East while driving.

We have taken a hotel right in the heart of the city, about one block from the Millennium Park. As soon as we touched the city I sprung out with my camera for any of the night time images. The city was lit with decorative lights from Christmas and the New Year celebrations. But it was so cold and windy that few people were outside at 10 in the night.

The images were taken on hand held Nikon D200 without any flash at about 800 ASA on Lexar pro media. I shall update more images from the trip on photoduniya.com.
