Buckingham Fountain - Chicago

[Mark Fuge]

This image was take a few years ago when we were visiting family. The fountain goes through stages of water spurts and lighting, so it is interesting to watch the show.

This is my wife's favorite Chitown landmark, so I got a few bonus points for the image. ;)

Hope you enjoy.

That's the one! :D

We've been there a few times when it was shut down for the season. This night however, was very different.

You may recognize it from the flipped space ship, on another board, but thought it would be interesting here as well. ;)

There was a lot of PP work on this, to remove the "tourists" and extraineous issues. But I like the results.
