Closed for the Season! by ukandie1

Closed for the Season!

These are the seats at the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park in Chicago. In the summer it is the home to the Grant Park Symphony and Orchestra, with numerous free concerts. The area in a whole is fantastic, and though I have taken numerous photos of it, I have never posted any of them here as I have struggled to be able to translate how great it is with my limited skills. So instead I have decided to approach it on a smaller scale and then hopefully by next summer when it is opened fully for the season I will be able to do it some justice.

I am posting an alternate shot that is in color and at a wider angle in my extras album.

this is a wonderful photo. just love the composition and all the lines
