North Michigan Avenue and Water Tower

 

View looking north along North Michigan Avenue from just south of the intersection with East Superior Street. The Chicago Water Tower is at the center of the image. Directly behind it, the Bonwit Teller store is undergoing renovations prior to its re-opening as I. Magnin. 1000 Lake Shore Plaza is further in the distance on the right, silhouetted against the sky. The top of the Lewis Towers (Frank Lewis Towers, originally Illinois Women's Athletic Club) is visible on the upper left of the photograph.
