Chicago has embraced the river since when I lived there. All the bridge houses are restored I think and there is even a museum (that was closed when Val and Mary Lou and I were walking around) You can’t explore them on your own I found out….

A great contrast between old and new. It does look like you processed this in HDR.

Fantastic! Love the gritty look, the lines and the reflection on the tall buildings in the distance. Perfectly composed.

Fantastic, these look really interesting places, were they like toll houses?

The lines are so elegant, and the subtle colors help give this a truly classic feel.

I’ve only been to Chicago once before and didn’t have nearly enough time to explore. Its a city I really want to return to but in the meantime I have your photos (and those of other bloggers) to enjoy. I feel you’re taking me on a tour but not the boring, tour bus kind!
I like that they seem to be taking a different approach to the river – it adds another dimension to the city, I’m sure.
Love your shot.

That looks like a large version of Dr Who’s Tardis. Was there a buzzing. Love this shot as it looks timeless.

No HDR but I did push recovery, contrast, vibrance and clarity a lot in camera raw.
