Streeterville, Chicago skyscraper textures

I like the juxtaposition of the material types.

The shiny one is 500 Lake Shore Drive (497 feet) - opened in 2013.
The taller pre-cast concrete tower behind it is One Bennett (897 feet) - opened in 2019.

[Note: I'm not ignoring 474 North Lake Shore Drive (581 feet) that is partially in frame, its just that I didn't capture it well.)

The Confluence

The fog really elevates this shot of a flood-high Chicago River (circa 2020). I wanted a slow shutter to smooth out the water & give the passing L train some movement, but I think that slow shutter also enhanced the etherealness of the soupy day.
