Barack Obama winning celebration in Chicago's Grant Park: 1

The bright glare of the video screen showing a television broadcast covering the 2008 elections. What a wonderful backdrop with the CNA building's American Flag and the Metropolitan Tower' beacon of light. HOW DRAMATIC!

This photo reminds me of the one I took last year with the CNA building celebrating Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympics: Chicago Olympics: 2016 on CNA Plaza

===============
This photo is part of a blog post about significance of the happiness seen at Obama's rally in Chicago's Grant Park. (November 4, Barack Obama wins the 2008 election and will become the next president of the United States.)

How was the happiness this night different from world championships, music concerts and fireworks? Find out and read the blog post at: www.spudart.org/blogs/randomthoughts_comments/4794_0_3_0_C/

thanks flooze, moose, and kaya. It was well worth it to bring my tripod. Chicago just completely rocks. They did an INCREDIBLE job putting up all those jumbo-trons. And then the wonderful architecture in the background with the flag, and the beacon of light. I am so proud that our city was being watched by the world last night.
