It was an early spring evening and it had been storming all throughout the day. I waited for sunset on the Skyline Walk, between the Adler Planetarium and the Shedd Aquarium. This image includes most of Chicago’s famous buildings. You can see the Willis Tower, formerly the Sears Tower which is the second tallest building in the United States. The Aon Center was formerly known as the Standard Oil building but changed its name after the company rebranded. The building itself was forced to undergo its own type of rebranding when its marble facade had to be replaced with granite as the wind in the Windy City was knocking the marble loose and creating a fall hazard. The historic Palmer House can be seen to the right of the Shedd Aquarium, while today it is a Hilton Hotel when it was built it was one of the most extravagant wedding gifts of the time from Potter Palmer to his beloved Bertha. The John Hancock Center is the seventh tallest building in the US and is seen on the right-hand side of the image.

These buildings lit up for night create an eye-catching image against the backdrop of sunset just after an early spring storm. You can see the storm clouds and building lights reflected in the wrap-around windows of the Shedd Aquarium in the left-hand corner of the photo and the still wet pavement of the Lakefront Trail.

I was incredibly lucky that just before sunset the rain stopped. The Lake was very choppy with large waves coming up well onto the boardwalk. This is a composite photograph, several photos taken throughout the evening blended together. Just enough of the clouds parted to allow the sun to light up the sky while created a warm reflection on the cold concrete right in front of me. The longer exposures of the later photos smoothed out the water. Since this was taken throughout the entire sunset the skyline goes from light to dark and gives it a special effect.
