The tall stone structure is the only building that survived the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. This view of Michigan Avenue, known as the Magnificent Mile, is from the 8th floor of Chicago place. If I figured out this VB code you can click on the image for a larger version.

    Chicago Water Tower
    Also a piece of trivia about Chicago water tower is that it was designed by the same architect (William Boyington) that designed Joliet State Prison (anybody not familar with Joliet State Prison, watch the opening scene of "Blues Brothers" that's where it was filmed). I only know that because I used to live there. The city of Joliet that is, not the prison.yelrotflmao.gif

    If you ever get to Joliet and see it you will see the similarities in design. Boyington also designed the front entrance facade for Rosehill Cemetery where he is buried interestingly enough.

    Thanks for sharing, cool shot.

    Very nice shot of the Water Tower. So many shots are from the street level that it's nice to see another angle.

    Thanks I always try to get up high for buidlings and skylines but often it's not easy. My favorite place to take pictures of Chicago is from the Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier. Way above street level :):
