The Wrigley Building

The Wrigley Building
“The Wrigley Building” — The Wrigley Building in Chicago.

I photographed Chicago’s famous Wrigley Building while we were out for a walk last November. We were in the city for most of a week, originally to meet up with others, but in the end to explore, eat at interesting places, and attend a couple of concerts. On this day we had walked to the opera house to make sure we’d know where we were going when we attended an upcoming performance, We were looping back from there along the Chicago River when I made the photograph.

When the light is right, I’m bit of a sucker for photographing big buildings like The Wrigley. They feel like they come from a different and perhaps more innocent era, and in Chicago they evoke the “City of Broad Shoulders” heritage of the place.
