Blue Hour over Chicago Skyline, Lake Shore Drive, Ohio Street Beach, and Lake Michigan - Mount Lee Olive Park Chicago Illinois

I had planned on shooting from the end of the park, but it closed at 8. So I crossed the beach and went around a railing to get up on the barrier wall of the park. This was better than I was expecting and exactly what I wanted with the foreground. I framed the shot to minimize distortion shooting this lens at 16mm, and I was able to get the buildings nice and straight by leveling the camera parallel to the buildings. This image has no post process distortion correction. The waters of the lake are clear and I got some nice transparency to the water. It was beautiful to watch the light fade over the city from this angle.
