Detail of the tower of the 35 East Wacker Drive Building - Formerly known as the Jeweler's Building (1925·1928)
and as the Pure Oil Building (1928·1962).
The decorative details, from the alternating bands of
rustication on the shaft of the tower to the ornate articulation of its lantern and dome, were among the last
Beaux-Arts Inspired details used to decorate a major skyscraper in Chicago.
Early morning light highlighted this wild rabbit in my yard. He or she, is a lovely size and looks incredible healthy. Looking forward to more visits.
Paul is part of a group show that is (no longer) up right now at the Eleanor Harwood Gallery. check it out, it's a good show.
This rainy downtown scene was captured about 15 minutes later than the previous photo (Divvy Bikes), also shot on the iPhone 6s Plus. The street level lighting artificially warmed up the otherwise cool tones of a wet and chilly late December afternoon. By the time we got from Daley Plaza, to Millennium Park, back to the Metra train station... we were quite wet. But all things seen and experienced and considered, it wasn't really bad at all!
Chicago is such a great town to wander through... even revisiting the same locations time and again is never quite the same experience twice. Should we ever move away from this area, I know I'll regret not spending more downtown time while it was only a Metra ride away.
Voted "Favorite Building" by the readers of The Chicago Tribune in 1995. Office building with 36 stories and a height of 148 meters. Completed: 1983. Architects: Kohn Pedersen Fox.
Killing time waiting for a Metra train, I did a little URBEX trek under 3,000 tons of curing concrete held up by only the falsework columns seen either side of the concrete barriers

The setting sun reflected in the 191 N. Wacker Building. This building and its next door neighbor at 333 W. Wacker were both designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates.
The crosswalk at Madison Street and the lighting pattern of the Lyric Opera's arcade create a seemingly endless pattern of stripes along Wacker Drive
Taken from Wacker Tower. This building was finished in 1928 and is, unfortunately, now standing empty.
