Crowded Beach on a summer day

Oak Street Beach in downtown Chicago, as seen from the top of the Hancock. I particularly love the volleyball courts from above. Hee!

The volley ball courts look like a drafter's drawing. The splay of lifeboats like sea shells. The corner of the lake with its dark line of wet sand seems to ground the photo.
