74 Dangerous


This unrepaired hole in the street in downtown Chicago is obviously very dangerous. Although it appears black in this photograph,there is another street level underneath and you can see all the way down to it.

  3. This would also fit the category of "Who put that there?"

    Tough to get around these things, with all the freezing/thawing here... (sigh)

  4. Scary - but beautiful too - I'm a sucker for rusty shots and this looks great with the rusty bits against the concrete and black void.

  5. THAT is scarey! How you'd end up getting that close to it?

  6. Bobbie, it wasn't as big as it appears in the photo. Maybe 16-18" long. I straddled it and bent over to take the shot. Ahh...what we won't do to get a photograph!!

  7. Didn't like the thumbnail but am in raptures (or is that ruptures) over the enlargement, the detail is a killer

  8. Good shot! The rusty internal structures add some great color. Although I wish someone would post a shot of you standing in the street taking a photo of the hole!

  9. Hope I don't hear anything on the news about rush-hour Chicago traffic getting consumed by a giant sinkhole. ;-) Weird that they wouldn't get out there and repair that right away.

  10. Looks just like the Chicago I know so well. It really does look dangerous. Can you see Lower Wacker from that hole?

  12. Great take on this theme. Very nicely done. I'd call the road inspector.

  13. Dangerous indeed! Who is responsible? Someone should repair the hole before it becomes bigger. I just talked to CNN and CBS so now the hole will be fixed. Haha! Could not help my self, sorry! ;)
    Love the rusty nails! :)
