Old Chicago Water Tower
Made by Squiz1210
Well, here she is in all her glory! This is the Old Chicago Water Tower located on Michigan Avenue (Magnificent Mile) in Chicago. She was built in 1869 and was the only public building to survive the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 which killed hundreds of people and completely destroyed about four square miles of Chicago - which was a lot in those days! Read more on the Water Tower here She is an amazing sight and especially at night all illuminated, she's really beautiful (I don't know why I refer to her as she, maybe it was the Cosmopolitans I'd consumed!?!). Anyway, I took this leaning on a lamp post (again, no editing so I'm pretty chuffed with my night shots and I hope to get into it more in the future - perhaps with my tripod!). You can just make out the pink lights at the top of the John Hancock Centre behind the tree at the top left. Matt and I spent a while around the base of the Water Tower to take in the beauty before heading back to our hotel ready for our flight out the next day. We were going to miss this city a lot!
Magnificent Night
Made by Squiz1210
Another shot without tripod. I took this one on the same night as the last one in the stream (so still boozy and bleary eyed!) but this one is looking down the Magnificent Mile to the North - heading back to our hotel late at night. I put the camera against the wall on the left to get this shot of the beautiful Old Water Tower - more info on that to follow - and the impressive John Hancock Centre topped with pink lights. Shame the sky is so dark but it was very late I guess. Again, no editing required on this one. I love my new camera :-)
Just what I thought

A typical view at the Water Tower mall, downtown Chicago. To an italian eye, something you really expected to find in the US.
