This Week: Between Here and There

Back to Chicago to celebrate the fact that I finally finished editing my Chicago photos.  Hooray!  I still have many more to share here over the next few months, but at least the processing is finished.  Many of the images I want to share weren't at a specific location or event but were taken when I was walking to one place or another.  This is Marina City.  From wikipedia:

Marina City is a mixed-use residential/commercial building complex occupying an entire city block on State Street in Chicago, Illinois. It lies on the north bank of the Chicago River, directly across from Chicago's Loop district. The complex consists of two corn cob-shaped 65-story tall residential towers, a saddle-shaped auditorium building, and a mid-rise hotel building all contained on a raised platform cantilevered over defunct railroad tracks adjacent to the river. Beneath the raised platform at river level is a small marina for pleasure craft.

The buildings are so distinctive.  In fact it is amazing how much of the architecture in Chicago is so distinctive.  I don't think I really realized that when I first booked my trip, but if you love architecture as I do, Chicago is definitely the place to go.

I finally uploaded more images from my Chicago artwalk.  You can see them at the beginning of this Flickr set.
