Architectural Elements

Turning to another Chicago treasure for today's main image - the Cultural Center which for decades was the site of the Chicago Public Library. This was taken from the second floor, looking out toward Michigan Avenue. I liked the contrast of curves and angles, as well as the small bit of mosaics seen throughout the interior.
Thank you for your wonderful response to my reluctant selfie taken in the subway. You really made me feel like I'd done something special which I hadn't expected at all. You've made my day!
What beautiful architecture! Love your composition and fav!

@francoise I remember being so overwhelmed there as a child. The "new" library is even larger, and has a beautiful skylight on the top floor, but nothing like this grand old building.
