(click on any photo to enlarge)

Intensely Blue Sky with Sun and Sunbeams

I liked the way the sun and sunbeams broke through from behind the clouds in this very blue sky. Once again, the original photo was also very colorful (mostly blues) but not as much as this color enhanced version.

Bike trail sith bright red, orange trees

This is the Millennium Trail in the late fall. The trees were mostly red, orange and brown at this time of year and the color saturation here really brought out the reds and oranges

Sunset as seen from Harper College Bike path

This is a sunset as seen through the tall grasses along the Harper College bike trail.

Color saturated photo of mirror ball near McCullom Lake, Illinois *

This photo was taken near McCullom Lake which you can get to from the McHenry County Prairie Trail. The effect of the reflective ball was interesting but is even more dramatic when you kick up the color a few notches.

 

Lock wall with stem and leaves from I&M Canal *

This brick wall is actually one of the locks along the Illinois and Michigan (I&M) Trail with a strand of life clinging to it.

Steel bridge crossing busy road on DPRT

This is one of the bridges over one of the busy roads that the southern part of the Des Plaines River Trail crosses.

Saturated color photo of teepee like stick formation

Here's a TeePee lookin stack of sticks and branches that I ran across while on the DPRT in the peak fall season.

Lighted sign for town of Wilmette

Along the Evanston Bike Trails, that mostly run along or next to the shores of Lake Michigan, you ride by this lighted sign as you enter the town of Wilmette.

Color saturated version of Bahai Temple

You also ride by the spectacular Bahai Temple as you ride the Evanston Bike Trails. This photo of the Bahai temple was not as colorful as many of the others in this collection but it does also look interesting as you saturate the photo with color.

Color enhanced version of Bahai Temple

You can see the water in from of the Bahai temple in this photo with the temple in the background. This was late in the afternoon on a sunny day but I liked the way this one looked a little darker and with the more intense colors.
