Chicago, it was the first american megapolis I saw in my life, it really impressed me. The last weekend walking the Chicago streets again, I couldn’t stop myself to take few strange pictures of Chicago landscapes which are the reflections of my vision of this nice city. Of course I didn’t try to find famous places or show things better than they are in real life… I was only following my way, but of course with the camera in hands. Enjoy the blue Chicago sky with me through my camera eye!

Friday and last weekend we spent in Chicago. Our weekend program was various, but for Sunday we had the only one big event: Chicago Marathon 2009, sponsored by Bank of America. Of course we didn’t participate in this long run. But instead we were among spectators, and had nice time cheering up runners, drinking beer and having fun despite very cold autumn weather. I want to share few Marathon pictures here.

Las Vegas, cloudy, not bright weather, only +100F (about 38C)

Bright sun, sand and desert – this is Nevada. But as soon as you enter inside of a casino in Las Vegas, the world around you is changed… Here 24 hours per day light is the same, temperature is the same, free drinks and nice looking friendly waitresses around… and of course the crowd is still gambling…

Las Vegas, the city of sweet dreams, crazy possibilities, big money and contrasts… big green live oasis in the world of dead desert and sand. Crowd is moving, having fun, drinking, yelling, running, smoking, eating… and of course gambling endlessly.
All the photos below are made in the first evening when I arrived to Las Vegas, only very first and fresh impressions

If you really want to feel a spirit of a city, wait till the evening… and night lights will give you a chance to dive headfirst into deeps of a real life

I want to share with you nice NYC evenings, I had 2 weeks ago. Take a look at bright colors of this wonderful city nightlife through my camera viewfinder.

I tried to express my vision of NYC dusk here, I hope you can feel the crazy mood of this megapolis from watching the photos.

Before I was in New York City three times, but all my visits were inside of JFK Airport terminals… This time we had HP Blades training scheduled by Ecommerce Inc. from 9th till 12th June 2009. And finally I had a chance to see this wonderful city not only from a plane through clouds, but also walk night NYC streets the very first time in my life.
Unfortunately I had no luck with weather, but anyway I loved to spend my free time in evenings wandering around with my big camera and the face saying “tourist here!”
You can see few pictures from the top of Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge and Roosevelt Island (which were included in my “tour around Manhattan”) below. And even more photos in my GALLERY.
