Description

Chicago, Illinois. For those of you who know the town: this is behind the library, near the Fisher Building and DePaul University, between Dearborn and State, on Van Buren. Part of The Loop. An elevated train transfer point. Did we go up? No. I have no idea why, but I've never set foot on one stair of one El station. One day I'll actually take a ride! You just KNOW I have to go back. :D

Like Andrea, I'm amazed by the meshing of so many styles; you got a great compo with the skyscrapers behind and the rusty structure in the front. And I'm really drawn to the old streetlamps in the bottom left corner, I'd love to do a photographic study of just them!
