.. wow, such a perfect capture of the area --- I would love to do a walkabout of the rocky beach section there, especially at a lower tide level.

Thank you.

First day of school!

I can’t believe the backpacks kids have lug around on their backs. I worry about the effects of all that weight on their backs and spines for 13 years.

.. taken during an early-morning walk in local park today --- with the colourful fallen leaves, definitely a sign of Autumn on its way.

Be Inspired | Chicago’s New Riverfront Landmark Early 2017

River Point, previously known as 200 North Riverside Plaza, is a 52-story 730 ft. (213 m) tall skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, located at 444 West Lake Street. The 52-story building has 1 million square feet (93,000 m2) of floor space.

🔴 Standing Point: River Point
World-Class Architecture and Efficient Design 💫

River Point is a recently completed 52-story, 1.08 million square foot office tower located in Chicago’s West Loop at Lake Street and the Chicago River. The design features a striking convex form that provides panoramic city views. A graceful parabolic arch frames the sloped red travertine lobby wall and reflects the river for passers-by. The building’s dramatic three-story lobby opens onto an expansive 1.5-acre riverside public plaza and newly created Riverwalk, the latest addition to Chicago’s unique riverfront.

The building's design reflects its location well, where the two branches of the Chicago River begin, with critic Blair Kamin noting "its exuberant curves" and how it reflects the river, like the "great 1983 high-rise" building across the river from it, 333 Wacker Drive. It was the first new downtown skyscraper to open in seven years, due to the Great Recession.

Reflecting River Point’s mirrored architectural arch, the sculpture’s graceful circular red form creates a stunning focal point for the plaza and a new iconic destination for the City of Chicago.

Address: 444 W. Lake Street, Chicago, IL
