A shot taken with a zoom lens that shows one of the arteries of Chicago (the el train) as well as the impressive and widely eclectic styles of architecture, that can be found along the Chicago river. I have never been to another city that has such a grand variety of buildings from all different periods harmoniously interacting and sharing space; the Chicago river is something truly unique in that sense. Pictured here we have some of the iconic Chicago architectural icons such as Marina City, The Carbon Carbide Building, and the Aqua. There is a somewhat ice feel to the picture, probably because it was about 12 degrees Fahrenheit.
