A Visit to Chinatown, Chicago by taffy

A Visit to Chinatown, Chicago

Andie @ukandie1 and I signed up for the new Chicago Architectural Foundation's tour of Chinatown. For fun, we used the water taxi to get there, traveling from Union Station down the Chicago River to the Chinatown 'depot' (not sure what you call a stop on a river). This was the view, looking back to the city, from a beautiful bright red pedestrian bridge. I converted to b&w as the colors (red bridge, blue sky, rusted bridge, etc) overwhelmed the composition.
Off and on for a bit as we get ready to shift locations to Beaver Island. Still a week to go, but lots to do. Apologies in advance for lack of commenting.
@ukandie1 Just finding time today to download and process from our visit. Happy holiday weekend!

@pamknowler I just want another Beaver Island rock tower on the deck at sunset, that’s all I want. ☺️

Ancient and modern held together by a dynamic tension that is almost palpable... brilliant!

Looks like a fun outing and I really like the b and w and the composition. It seems a bit tilted right

Such great lines in this shot, and so much to look at. B&W gives the image so much punch. I like it very much.

So many points of interest in this shot - and all so fabulously clear. And it is so exciting to hear that you are going to Beaver Island soon - I love all of the island shots you take!!
