2016 05 17 Our Hotel

This is the Hotel Raddisson Blue Aqua where Rosie and I stayed in Chicago. What a beautiful building inside and out and I think designed by a woman. I thought I had come to the end of my shots for Chicago but I found another card and I would like this to be part of my project. The hotel is all curvy with the balconies curving in different shapes. I used my Wide angle lens and just had to straighten the slight distortion.

Best on black

Many thanks for your great comments and Favs on yesterdays shots two of which were on the PP. How lovely to see then there!!
What a lot of lines.Like the contrasting lines leading you into the shot.

What a very sinuous sort of building, I thought at first you were having some fun in PS but then realised it's the shape of the building.

OMG! I thought the same thing @judithdeacon. Very interesting and I'm sure it stands out among the rest.

The hotel seems to be in constant movement due to all of its curves...wonderfully captured with great light and tones

Interesting architecture. I like the white handrail and the funny zigzag shadow on stages.

Great capture of this building -- the only all woman architectural firm that designed it -- great in B&W bringing out its lines.
