Chicago skyline is framed by icicles in Chicago
The Chicago skyline is framed by icicles in Chicago, Illinois, January 8, 2014. A deadly blast of arctic air shattered decades-old temperature records as it enveloped the eastern United States on Tuesday, snarling air, road and rail travel, driving energy prices higher and overwhelming shelters for homeless people.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the stunning beauty of the Chicago skyline framed by icicles, showcasing a unique blend of nature and urban architecture. Taken on January 8,2014, during a deadly blast of arctic air that shattered temperature records in the eastern United States, this image highlights the power of nature as it enveloped Chicago in an icy grip. The low angle view and close-up shot allow us to appreciate the intricate details of each individual icicle hanging from buildings against the backdrop of a serene blue sky. The frozen water droplets create a mesmerizing natural phenomenon that adds depth and texture to this picturesque cityscape. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of both the harshness and beauty found within our environment. The frigid winter season is seen through multiple layers: from the icy cold exterior to the warmth emanating from lit windows in buildings. This juxtaposition reflects not only on weather conditions but also on societal issues such as homelessness, overwhelmed shelters, and rising energy prices. Jim Young's creative use of composition emphasizes how even amidst challenging circumstances, there is still breathtaking beauty to be found in nature's creations. This full-frame photograph invites us to contemplate our place within these surroundings while appreciating both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's artistry.
