Standing in and empty Federal Square, surrounded by Mies van der Rohe's architecture framing the Calder sculpture -- it doesn't get better than this for architectural photography!
Thank you for your lovely comments and favs on the images this past week as part of Pam and Rosie's visit to Chicago. Such fun!
@jgpittenger Haha...cloned right out -- but they weren't in interesting places and there were only a few. Even for scale, they didn't do anything for the overall composition.
@jamibann What you can do, I think, and it should work: Call up your photo in its album and copy the URL from the top, rather than Ross's link. Then we can click the URL to get to your album. I'd like to see it!
Very striking image. Went off to look up more about it and discovered it is called Flamingo. Can't quite get my head around how it is a flamingo........but Calder's Beast? Oh yes! That works for me! It's a great colour scheme against the building, isn't it?
Quite extraordinary. Wonderful contrasts between the bright red and the b&w buildings, and between the curved lines of the sculpture and the angular lines of the buildings.
