Looking Up at Radisson Hotel and Chicago Skyline in The Loop on North Columbus Drive - Illinois, USA

Took this off the top of a bouncy double decker tour bus, caught the lens flare on this frame and decided to rock it. Typically I would avoid lens flare, but this was the best angle and I thought the flare added a point of interest and an aid to lead the eye through the composition, creating “movement” in what would otherwise be a static image.
