Beautifully Sublime

in beautifulsunday •  7 years ago  (edited)

This is my entry for the #beautifulsunday challenge, hosted by @ace108 and for #Sublimesunday by @c0ff33a.

My Sunday photos are from a walk along the Chicago River. It is a popular spot for tourists to take a boat tour down in the concrete and glass canyon, go through the locks, and view the city from out on Lake Michigan.

150 Riverside North has several nicknames, including 'the tuning fork' but I personally think it looks like a tree that a beaver has gnawed around the base of. It was completed in 2017 and is 53 stories tall. There are huge tanks of water at the top to serve as a counterweight that keeps it from swaying too badly in the wind. It is anchored deeply into the earth, but still seems more than a bit off balance to me!

Riverpoint is a 52-story tower with a striking curved, green glass mirrored design. The curving glass walls of the arch beautifully reflect the Chicago River, while serving as a gutter to divert water away from the entrance. It was built in 2016.

Even in the city, being by the water makes Sundays delightful!

Nice. I’m in Chicago and it’s been so hot these last 3 days, that a river boat sounds great 😊👍
Great clicks and writing.

It has been ridiculously hot, even farther north in Wisconsin where I am. Do you live in the city?

Yeah, west of it 😊

Just in my Dreams!!!

Ah, you will need to come visit when the price of Steem goes back up!

I really like the countryside, mountains and snow. I do not like cities but the only one that fascinated me is Chicago .... I think it's a general feeling that the steem goes up amiga mia.

I wouldn't want to live in a city, unless I had lots and lots of money. But they are fun places to visit!

Water in the cities always make for a good walk.

, being on the shores of Lake Michigan, Chicago has plenty of places to be near the water! Thanks for the opportunity to share my beautiful Sunday!

You're welcome. Thanks for participating

oow...The beauty of the river in the Chicago, when ya I could there? I see pemandangn very beautiful.

Great shots and what an interesting building

Thanks. It is certainly a different sort of structure!

wow amazing buildings and perfect capture..

Many thanks, my friend!

@melinda010100, nice Sunday walk! I liked these beautiful views of Chicago. Looking at the city from the water is always very interesting. This glass building looks very majestic. I like this architecture, which by its reflection increases the space. Thank you!

Thanks! And I have been enjoying the FIFA sports coverage with views of your country, and city!

I think that because of the huge number of people there it was difficult to see something good, but you could feel the atmosphere of this great holiday :)

Our TV coverage had some beautiful segments with sights from around the cities where the stadiums are. And when I saw some of the scenes around Moscow and Saint Petersburg, I could say, I've been there! Great memories, and great futbol, too!

I saw that you made a bet in this game in favor of our team ( I'm talking about the football contest here on Steemit). I was pleased that you predicted this result :)

My daughter-in-law would have been unhappy with me if I was not cheering for Russia! 😀 They did not let us down! 🇷🇺

Pictures two and three are STUNNING - what an incredible building I love that arched reflective glass. Seeing something like that just really makes Steemit for me - that's a perfect example of what makes this platform so special.

I would have never seen this sort of building, and it's fascinating to be able to experience something that otherwise in my lifetime would have passed me by.

Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures for your #SublimeSunday, it has been an amazing journey and I now know so much more then I did before.

I totally agree with you! I have been a traveler my entire life. I am still able to travel the world, even though health issues keep me home these days. Being here is a life saver for me!

So glad you enjoyed these photos!😀

I really think this is a side of Steemit people often ignore, it's so easy to just see this as a blogging site you can earn money from. But for so many people - the rewards are nice - but the people and interaction is far more benefit. I meet so many people in a similar situation, Steemit is now a window on the world because it is difficult for them to get out so much themselves - just a few I remember off hand @tygertyger , @snook and a new but oh so lovely find @soyrosa - these people inspire me not the ludicrous posts on trending - and it is all of you real content creators that make me believe that all the the time I spend here, commenting on posts, sharing posts and now running a Witness server - is time well spent.
