Riverfront

One of the more fascinating and unique things to see in Chicago is the water curtain developed as a memento for the centennial of a great engineering feat. Every river in the world save one drains into a lake or an ocean. The Chicago River was reversed and now ultimately drains into the Mississippi River. The water curtain is launched from a Sanitary District memorial on the banks of the river just west of the locks that generate the change.
Nearby is Lake Point Tower, a majestic high-rise residential building just west of Navy Pier. I often have wondered how difficult it might be to decorate and furnish rooms that are all rounded.

Feel free to let me know what you think. It is exciting to think that some of my photography might be enjoyed by others.
