Sentries at the Riverfront

Taken on the riverwalk above the Chicago River. The late afternoon light gave me more to work with than usual...and I got lucky with a break in the people walking by -- a break lasting about 3 seconds. Photo 3 for Flash of Red theme. Entry for million dollar potato theme is in extras album - http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2016-02-03
