Chicago's Stainless Steel River (explored)

    EXPLORE - 19 FEB 2009 #166

    View of Downtown Chicago over the BP Bridge

    Connecting Millennium Park to Daley Bicentennial Plaza, east of the park, this 925-foot-long winding bridge, Frank Gehry's first, provides incomparable views of the Chicago skyline, Grant Park and Lake Michigan. Clad in brushed stainless steel panels, the BP Bridge complements the Pritzker Pavilion in function as well as design by creating an acoustic barrier from the traffic noise below. It also has a 5% slope to allow easy access for people who are physically challenged.

      Very well done, Steve. Love the composition and how well everything flows together; the bridge foreground "makes" the photo IMHO.
