The Rookery's oriel staircase

The Rookery was one of more than 200 buildings opened up to the public this weekend for Open House Chicago. Props to the Chicago Architecture Foundation for arranging that -- what a cool event.

 

Anyway, I took this photograph back in July in relative solitude on a tour of the building with the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust. The crowds at this spot yesterday didn't make shooting a very pleasurable experience. We photographers can be a really self-centered bunch sometimes. I don't exclude myself from that criticism, by the way. =)
