Water Tower & Marina City

Two towers from downtown Chicago. The Water Tower hardly seems tall enough to be called a tower today, surrounded by high-rises on every side, but 14 decades ago it was indeed the north side tower which marks the edge of the devastation of the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.
Several blocks away, the corncob-look twin towers of Marina City have been a mainstay of the River North area for over 40 years.

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