Description Wrigley Building
400 & 410 North Michigan Ave.

I love this building. It's so old (built in 1920) and it still looks great. This is the clock on the tallest tower (121m).

i think there is a famous architect working in the top rooms of it - an augury for your architectural photography?
a little bit crooked or am I wrong? would be an even more great picture if you tried to get it upright

I too have wondered if it's crooked. I still can't tell for sure either. I think it's straight because the corner of the building in the foreground is parallel with the border. The clock tower is just set back further and on an odd angle so it looks like it is falling backward. I probably should've chosen a better vantage point, but I think the best ones are in the river next to the building. haha

i think even this corner is a little little little bit crooked, but it is probably a too little angle to correct it really. but i am also not sure.
anyway a good shot! and your point wasn't bad!
you might put a buoy there so that you can stand on to photograph with all the time you need
