Picture of the day
A view west along the main stem of the
Chicago River
, a system of rivers and
canals
that runs through
Chicago
,
Illinois
, US. Though not especially long, the river is notable for being the reason why Chicago became an important location, as
the link between
the
Great Lakes
and the
Mississippi Valley waterways
. Buildings such as
Trump International Hotel and Tower
in the center and
Aqua
(gray building with turquoise "streak") are among the prominent structures depicted. On the right is the cleared land that was awaiting redevelopment as the
Chicago Spire
. This photo is from the
Link Bridge
with the
Streeterville
region of the
Near North Side
community area
to the north and the
Lakeshore East
and
Illinois Center
regions of the
Loop
to the south.
