Chicago Splitscreen

I was looking through old photos of mine the other day and found these.

I took the top photo in Chicago during the summer of 2006. I took the bottom photo in Chicago during the autumn of 2008. The only two times I've ever been to Chicago. I didn't realized I had taken such similar photos on two separate trips until I was looking at old photos the other day. I did not intend to take two photos from almost exactly the same spot, but I guess both of these times I found myself in that spot and decided it was a beautiful view for a photo. There was a little bit of cropping done to reframe them since they didn't line up perfectly, but not much.

This is what it looks like outside the house this morning.

I love when the snow sticks to the trees like this.

That's the driveway in front, one of the hills that my siblings and I used to sled down when we were kids.

The snow on that tree to the right reminds me of when people make gingerbread houses with frosting as snow.

The railing you can see is about the top half foot of our deck railing sticking out above the snow.
