This was the scene as we motored out of Tribune Bay at the end of a day of fun.
iPhone shot around 9 am. This is taken at Hornby Island at Tribune Bay. Beautiful area. Get there early enough and the beach is yours! It got busy shortly after.
UP YPR60B pulls a single car from the Chicago Tribune's Freedom Center in its final months of printing operations. It will now attach back to its train on the left, a single covered hopper for Alpha, and run around before heading up to the northwest side.
YNO68 pulls two empty boxes from the Chicago Tribune in Chicago, IL. The tribune received 10 cars or so at a time three days a week just four years ago; these two cars were all that came in and out of the warehouse this week.
Long exposure using iPhone 7. This feature is part of the new iOS 11. Pretty sweet! I'm seeing a little noise in the shot, but overall pretty good. Just a little edit on this on the phone itself.
Today's post is a third shot of the same composition from the corner of the rooftop at Tribune Tower. I took this same shot with three different lighting conditions: Daytime, Blue Hour, and now night. The photographer in me prefers the blue hour shot since it is such a small window of time where the lighting is most unique, but the Chicagoan in me can't help but prefer the below nighttime version, as I believe it is the truest representation of the city (and I mean that in a good way).

Panoramablick über den Kirchsee und das Kirchseemoor auf die Berge des Isarwinkels und Karwendels. (Könnte auch irgendwo in Skandinavien oder Kanada sein)

UP YPR60B backs onto the Tribune lead to pull one boxcar out of the Freedom Center. The private crossing on site is still protected by a couple of old-school flashers including an active mechanical bell. Signs of life at the Freedom Center are starting to wane as the plant enters its final months of printing operations.
Union Pacific switches the Chicago Tribune printing plant in Chicago. Not long for this world, Printing will cease here later this year. A Bally's Casino will be constructed on this site. What would the late Richard J. Daley and Mike Royko think? We'll never know.
UP YPR60B departs for Cragin after finishing its work at the Tribune and Blommer. The U-Haul facility on the right has been vacated for redevelopment around the future site of Bally's Casino. The Tribune is expected to vacate the Freedom Center by July meaning that rail shipments will end sometime before that.
South tribune of St Pancras New Church. Modelled on the Erechtheum, a temple on the Acropolis in Athens, with four caryatids.
The church was designed in a Greek revival style by father-and-son architects William and Henry Inwood, and was consecrated in 1822.
En 1922 el Chicago Tribune organizó una competición internacional de diseño para su nueva sede, y ofreció $100 000 en premios con un primer premio de $50 000 para "el edificio de oficinas más bonito e inconfundible del mundo". La competición funcionó brillantemente como una maniobra publicitaria durante meses, y las propuestas recibidas suponen un punto de inflexión en la historia de la arquitectura americana. Se recibieron más de 260 propuestas. El ganador fue el diseño neogótico de los arquitectos neoyorquinos John Mead Howells y Raymond Hood, con arbotantes cerca de la cima.
In 1922 the Chicago Tribune hosted an international interior and exterior design competition for its new headquarters, and offered $100,000 in prize money with a $50,000 1st prize for "the most beautiful and distinctive office building in the world". The competition worked brilliantly for months as a publicity stunt, and the resulting entries still reveal a unique turning point in American architectural history. More than 260 entries were received.
The winner was a neo-Gothic design by New York architects John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood, with buttresses near the top.
