My wife would be at all day training for pretty much the rest of our time in Chicago. This enabled me to go off and do my normal slow paced photography at more appropriate times of day

I’d seen some images online taken from this location (it’s at the top of Navy Pier Parking deck behind the Centennial Wheel, fairground and theatre

I decided to head here for sunset, twilight and night to capture some images. These images were from just prior to and then on sunset

The top image is comprised of three (3) horizontal frames and the bottom images is from five (5) vertical images stitched
