Travel - A Walk Through Chicago’s Millennium Park

in #cityscapephotography6 years ago (edited)

I’m in Chicago this week and got out for a nice evening walk through the city’s famous Millennium Park. I’ll show my last stop in the Park first because it is my favorite of all the shots I got that night. There are two very tall video walls that stand on each end of the park’s Crown Fountain. There are images of different people’s faces on the walls and water comes out of the wall where their mouths are in the images. There are also water jets on the pavement between the two video walls. It attracts lots of families and kids play in the fountain. The image below catches the silhouettes of the children playing in the fountain against the backdrop of a smiling girl’s face.

The Park is broken up into different sections with one section having a huge ultra modern looking concert pavilion.

The Park goes seamlessly right over a road or rail track that you don’t even see because of the winding stainless steel walkway that connects the front of the park to the back.

I found this little walkway and water feature off the side off the concert grounds.

And here is a shot looking back at the city skyline from the winding walkway.

And finally, a shot of the Millennium Founders Wall, honoring the founders of the Park.

hey, your First Picture is a Great Shot!

You have a minor misspelling in the following sentence:

I’m in Chicago this week and got out for a nice evening walk through the city’s famous Millenium Park.
It should be millennium instead of millenium.

Amazing pictures my friend and they are all unique. The one with kids in the fountain is beautiful and the one from your walk in the city light and the memorials... Stunning shots 😉
Thank you for sharing. Cheers! 🌹
