Here are some more photos from my walk along the Chicago River this week. These were taken after the sun had completely set, so they really didn’t work for last night’s #magicalhour post. The first photo is a long exposure shot, which I think nicely captured the gold reflections of light on the water. This shot was right at the point where the Chicago River forks into the North and South Branches looking up the main part of the river towards the lake. I set my camera on a concrete ledge to steady it for the long exposure.
The building lit in purple with the clock tower was at one time the headquarters of Encyclopedia Britannica, and is a classic example of the Chicago School of architecture. I can’t imagine encyclopedia Britannica is still in business but the name is still on the clock tower.
Here are a couple more long exposure shots along the river.
