PHOTO ROUTE

From the Chicago River we’ll pass the famous Marina Towers and many swing bridges spanning the river. Along the Chicago Loop we’ll stop at the single-most-famous sculpture in Chicago, Pablo Picasso's Untitled, before seeing Cloud Gate and the Crown Fountain in Millennium Park.

En route to Grant Park and past the Art Institute, you‘ll see an impressive great wall of buildings from Randolph Street south to Congress Parkway that architecture buffs refer to as the "Michigan Avenue Cliff." Then finally into Grant Park modeled after the gardens at Versailles, you’ll photograph giant lawns segmented by allées of trees, plantings, paths, and Buckingham fountain, twice the size of -- the Latona Fountain at Versailles.
