The Defeat of the Day

{Explored #20}

 

This is the magnificent Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park, downtown Chicago. The fountain was built in 1927 and is one of the largest fountains in the world. During the water display the center jet shoots water 150 feet into the air.

 

I took this shot last night during a blue hour shoot at sunset. The dramatic clouds and incredible light were the most spectacular backdrop to the fountain and the Chicago skyline.
