Captured while walking along the waterfront in Chicago on a rainy day.
I was carrying a Canon 5D Mk4 that day and it never came out of the bag due to the rain. This was with an iPhone 16 Pro. I also discovered that I need a new rain jacket as my current one did not keep me dry.

While on a rainy day trip to downtown Chicago on the Metra, I grabbed a photo out the wet window of the train of the structure in the background. The timing of the shot also captured the rail crossing which added a starting point and leading line to the buildings in the distance.

“My kind of town, Chicago is…
The Wrigley Building, Chicago Is…”
— Jimmy Van Heusen and Sammy Cahn
There are iconic buildings throughout the world that immediately identify a place — Sydney Opera House in Australia, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Taj Mahal in India — and in Chicago it is the Wrigley Building.
With all the skyscrapers and sleek buildings that have popped up in Chicago and other cities over the past forty years or so, the Wrigley Building remains an icon. How iconic? Well, when Lego Architecture did a skyline of Chicago, the 100 year-old Wrigley Building was one of buildings featured. Can you get a stronger imprimatur than Lego? ‘Nuff said.

It’s looking like November is going to be about images captured at Navy Pier in Chicago. I guess that shows just how much potential material was available while visiting there.

If you like reflections and are in Chicago, take a trip to Navy Pier. There is a building that has one long side with a reflection of the city. The view changes as you move up and down the wall.

If you’ve been to Chicago, you’ve probably visited Millennium Park and seen the “Bean,” also known as the Cloud Gate. It’s one of those sculptures that I can walk around and find unique compositions from every angle.

Sometimes you have to shift your perspective to have it all make sense. Chicago skyline reflected in the Millennium Gate.
