Buckingham Fountain at Dawn
I think the fountain has become such a cliche image in Chicago and I wanted to capture it in a new way. I think the true beauty of the fountain is in it's details, before the pumps turn on. Everyone always asks me where this photo was taken and they are always amazed when I tell them.
