Night time architecture

After the game, I went to dinner and then I walked around and took more photos of the centre of Chicago at night.

There are residential blocks as well as a lot of businesses, but I'm sure that not all of these lights really need to be on, but it does make it pretty.

The Riverwalk, on the right hand side in this first picture, is lively with lots of music going on - although it all closes at 11pm, thankfully, as I could hear it all inside my hotel room, just on the left-hand side of this picture!

 There are still a large number of river tour boats going up and down all through the evening and they were all packed with people.

 

The captains of these vessels need to have their wits about them, as the river is full of pleasure craft and also groups of people in kayaks.

 

That looks a bit dodgy during the day, but it looked positively dangerous at night time with each kayak have a tiny little light on it.  At least the people sailing in an actual boat probably know what they are doing, but the kayakers seemed to be novices, with maybe one or two guides trying to keep them all safe!

 

Here's a few more pictures of the night-time skyline and me.
