Michigan Ave. Water Tower Place



This is a picture of the original Water Tower (on the right). The only building that survived the Chicago Fire. My group and I went to the Water Tower area and observed. We saw many people of different races and some speaking other languages. Some people were reading while others simply cut through the small park on their way to work or between shopping centers. There is never a dull moment in the park by the Water Tower, buses and cars are always driving by and there is always the familiar chirp of a bird nearby.

On the left, is a picture of the three of us (Me, Eric, and Kaitlin) in front of the original water tower. Inside there is now an art gallery that is open to the public during certain hours. We noticed that most of the people around the park seemed to be in a rush that appeared to be normal for them. Some people were sitting on the little benches reading or taking in a breath of fresh air and watching the small simple fountain that is in the middle of the park.

Nice pictures! You could add a line making sure readers know those photos were taken by you--it protects your copyright!
