Wrigley Building Beacon

My camera sensor is clean, successful meetings are completed, and the sun was out today. I did a long walk from home to downtown, along the river and was rewarded with a wonderful scene as the sun started going down behind the buildings to the west. It's good to be back and I look forward to catching up on what I've missed. BTW, viewed on black brings out the texture and lighting of the architecture in the darker areas and changes the overall look of the image.
