A Walk Through Chicago - Part I

After the Train Day exhibit, I was thinking about heading over to the Shedd Aquarium.  I figured that I would take the Water Taxi over there.

 Looking down the street.

 As I was waiting for the taxi, I decided to watch some of the boats passing by.

 One of the tour boats passing by.

 And my ride over to Navy Pier.

 The river is a pretty nice place to get some pictures of the buildings.

 I kind of liked this shot.

 Continue down the river.  It was a little foggy on Saturday and that made for some pretty nice pictures.

 Looking up at the Wrigley Tower.

 Looking back at the Wrigley Tower.

 A statue at Navy Pier.

 Looking down Navy Pier.

 A tour boat named after Cap Streeter.  He was born in 1837 near Flint, Michigan.  His legend is that a storm blew his boat on a sand bar near Chicago.  From that, he built a development.  Eventually, this land would come to be known as Streeterville.  The truth is a little more muddy.

 The water taxi that would take me over to Shedd Aquarium.

 A view of Navy Pier from the water.

 As I said, it was pretty foggy.  That made for an interesting looking skyline.

 So I kept taking pictures of the skyline as I passed it.

 A pier light.

 Another lighthouse.

 I kind of like this view of the skyline.

 I kind of liked the way the sailboat looked.
