Default Trump Towers Over Wrigley

CityScape - Chicago .. The Trump Tower is the tall glass building with the clouds around the top and the Wrigley Building is the one with the clock

Hayward, I really like this cityscape. Wrigley stands out from the other buildings because of its color and architecture and I like the fog enveloping the upper reaches of the other skyscrapers. This is really appealing to the eye.

Thanks for the descriptive comment Hayward.

and once again, its a brilliant pic. The beige of the Wrigley ( ) and the blue of the trump tower contrast perfectly and the clouds obscuring the top of the tower add depth to the picture.

Chicago's architectural heritage goes back over a hundred years, and is still studied around the world. When in Chicago, take the Architectural River Cruise. Lovely time, and very interesting!
