Chicago's New Addition

I was so used to seeing scaffolding on this corner that I was shocked when I walked by this huge new hotel and residential tower. I had my super-wide angle with me so couldn't resist. Combined from three shots. Then, used as centerpiece for the MFPIAC7 challenge this week.

Thank you all for your wonderfully supportive comments for the Waiting Bicycle shot. I was so lucky to be in the right place at the right time, ducking into the right building with a large window, and then traffic clearing at the exact right time after the rain had stopped. It was one of those shots I was excited to post so I really appreciated your response to it.
