The yachts are coming - Raise the bridges!

This morning all the Chicago bridges were raised to let boats down to Lake Michigan for the summer. I was expecting a flotilla of yachts but only two came down! Lovely to see the bridges lifting in succession. Here I have two of them open at the same time. It causes chaos with the traffic!

A sure sign of spring in Chicago- the bridges are lifted and the boats move along the river! I like this very much with the bridges and the buildings!
