I took this photo while I was on the train, standing up! I don’t know why I think this, but to me this scene looks peaceful and calm. With the large, sometimes overwhelming skyscrapers that make up Chicago’s downtown, it is a wonder that anyone would see this as anything but serene. Synergy; ah yes, the architecture and structures seem to stand in a cohesive existence despite their differing appearances.
Okay, perhaps I am really stretching it here, but I just thought of an analogy. An orchestra has a litany of contrasting instruments; each type or kind with its own merits. And yet, when played together they create a new and exciting sound. I think that is what downtown Chicago does, don’t you think? The various buildings and bridges are quite striking alone, but together they create a magnificent, connected sight!
I hope your Saturday is filled with serenity and delightful sights!
A wonderful photo. Specially the bridges which connect the high buildings together. And yes it looks very quiet. I love this view.
Thank you, Annie! I love this area of downtown Chicago! Cher xo
Gotta love Chicago!!!
Indeed, SD! Indeed! Cher xo
I think, that what makes this looks so peaceful may be the quiet water. Water is calming, Cher 🙂
Ah, yes! I agree, Irene! I love being near water, which is why being so close to Lake Michigan is such a treasure!! Thank you, dear Irene! Cher xo
I love it! It is a beautiful city scenery and you did great taking that photo during a train ride!
Ah, thank you, Erika! I didn’t know how the picture would turn out (yes, being on the train AND me standing up)! Hahahaha Cher xo
Very cool 👍

Beautiful picture. You should be working for the Chicago Chamber of Commerce!!
Well didn’t you just make my entire week! Thank you so much for that! And truth be told, I’d love a job with that organization!! Cher xo
Why not give them a call. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained”. If you do, let me know.
I shall do on both accounts! Thank you! Cher xo
I was fortunate to do an architectural tour of Chicago… maybe in the 90s? Fell in love with it. Need to come back…
