Chicago from a boat

We did a boat tour of the architecture of Chicago. Very interesting considering that Chicago had to rebuild after the great fire! Here's the link to the tour company!

The Sears tower is the Taller one. The smaller is the largest reinforced concrete building.

Union Station

This is the fountain that was built as a new "gate" into Chicago. It actually shoots a stream of water accross the canal. Originally the water was to hit the opposite bank, but too many pedestrians got wet. So they adjusted it to hit the water. Now the boats get wet instead.
This is an apartment building. There's another one quite similar that has parking in the lower levels.


I've forgotten what this building is called. It's neat in that it reflects the opposite bank in it's windows. Apparantly, it's Chicago's favourite building.
