Water tower in Chicago!


Water tower in Chicago!

I loved all the old buildings sitting amongst skyscrapers. It really gives the city a cozy feeling. I never really felt like I was in a big city, we'd walk 10 blocks and it felt like we just went right around the corner.

Your Cathedral tower picture is wonderful. I can't believe you were as close as you were and still got it all.

You "cathedral" picture is wonderful, I agree. However, it is not a cathedral at all, but the old Water Tower left from the Chicago Fire. That and the building opposite it across Michigan Avenue were all that was left of downtown Chicago after Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked over the lantern and started the great fire in the 1800's Just a bit of useless information running around in my head!

I loved the trip!

You know, I knew it wasn't a cathedral, but I didn't know what it was. Thanks for the input however useless it was.

At first, I thought it was the Water Tower, too (yeah, right), but then, I remembered you took a picture of a cathedral, so, I thought maybe it was indeed the cathedral tower. Alas, it is still a great picture, Leigh!
