It was my first time back to Chicago over the last three years, and I happened to land in the perfect weather.  Even I used to live in Chicago before, I hardly remember its spring (or early summer) could be so pleasant, and trees could look so green.  Everything looked just perfect!

I was visiting alumni, ex-colleagues day in and day out, and the evening view of Navy Pier I took from my Brazilian classmate Bernardo's home was one of the highlights.  I did not have a tripod, and had to put my camera somewhere on the edge of the rooftop for a relatively long shutter speed.  Neither did I control the composition, nor did I adjust any colors, the picture came out pretty!  Of course, when everything is right, it should be effortless!
