Sunset in Chicago [OC]

Looking straight down the Chicago river, with the famous corncob buildings on the right shore and skyscrapers on the left. in the background the sunlight illuminates some clouds and skyscrapers in the distance. the sun also reflects off the river in a single column leading from the viewer.

Holy Name Cathedral, Chicago, Illinois [OC]

by
View down the nave of the beautiful and brightly-lit church, the floor of which has geometrical designs and two rows of pews stretching into the distance. Like a European cathedral, it has two aisles marked by ribbed stone columns supporting pointed arches. Above the arches are what look like walls of green marble panels and, above them, small stained glass windows. The ceiling is most distinctive, made entirely of some sort of dark wood carved or positioned to resemble ribbing which forms a grid design over the entire ceiling. In the distance are the windows of the curving wall of the apse.

Skylight at the Chicago Cultural Center [OC]

by
Oblique view of the large domed (from our perspective, oval) skylight, composed of thousands of light blue/white glass discs held together in metal frames that form a matrix around a central circle. In this circle are intricate floral and abstract designs and the 12 symbols of the zodiac. Around the base of the dome is a ring of orange/white lights, and the surrounding ceiling is a mosaic of intricate floral designs on a white background.
