Urban Beauty

I was downtown last Friday for an audition and to stop by City Hall to get Atlas' pet license.

I was having a good day, so I took a little detour to spend some time around the river. I really love the architecture of Chicago, and especially these bridges. I love the graceful sweeps of the arches, and the heavy rivets, and the handsome stonework on the towers or keephouses at each end.

They have used Chicago as a style reference for the new Batman movies, even filming some exterior scenework here. They have been showing Batman Begins all over TV for the past couple of weeks, and you can really see it, especially in scenes set in or around the train system or The Narrows, where the prison was located.
