Description
I bet you thought I was done with Chicago doorways, didn't you? LOL! Nope! Here's another one.
Look at the size of the archway in comparison to the size of the actual doors.
This was from that sunny September Saturday, late in the afternoon. We were on our way to have a cup of coffee and kick back for a little while after having walked around all day, and I saw a couple more doors I just HAD to take pictures of!

A most impressive arch but the doors look a bit lost, nice shot.
Nice doors the arch looks great too.. very lovely capture!!
Fantastic capture!
There was always just one more door and that's "what matters"!!! lol
Another great picture of the huge arch build in with glass.
Obviously not aesthetic balance or design integrity! I find my brain trying to figure out how it was actually MEANT to look when it was made! A great pic of a spot of architectural vandalism. And the words just make it even better.
A very strange door indeed. Its like it doesnt fit the archway. Amazing and i like the sign. Makes one think once more :-)
Did you get to view the door from the other side? I'm sure the light is marvelous. Great capture.
fantastic shot and a really great fascinating serie
Love the reflections and lighting and the scale of the arch
Well, yeah! That's the first thing I noticed.. Those cannot be the same doors..? Must have had some HUGE set of things with a doorman to boot! lol Great shot.. Love the archway.. Rob
Most amazing door and stellar image Tara! It is a very special entrance and your magic touch is clearly visible! Well done! Sorry - had another mad weekend! :)
If you blow it up and look, I don't think the doors were always there. I think it was a set of windows. The doors were an after thought, perhaps they divided the building. Very, very cool shot.
Fantastic capture erland
Looks like the door was an afterthought....great colors in this one...
I agree with Helanker :)
I am thinking... long and hard. Thanks for another entrance, Clive
Awesome!
Excellent shot!
look like the archway matters here. wonderful
Beautiful composition. excellent work
Yeah, Chicago has this strange affection for not-exactly-balanced stuff...it's everywhere here. I think this was designed by someone with an arch fetish, but I have to admit that it's impressive. Behind that door (and the "What Matters" advert for Roosevelt University is also the stairway used in the Kevin Kostner film The Untouchables. The scene in which there was a shoot out as a baby carriage zoomed down the stairs was filmed just beyond that door, at around 1am so that everyone would be gone by the time classes started the following day. I love this shot. You make Chicago look so impressive. Mayor Daley owes you a debt of gratitude...but it's da Mayor: he'll probably just offer a subtle bribe instead.
Could be a poster, wonderful image!
hmmm, what does matter; I'll have to get back to you on that:). I really like the lines here, curves and right angles go well together. Also, I'm diggin' the reflections in the windows. A well composed shot.
Magnificent, expansive archway...love your collection of Chicago doorways. So varied. Good reminder slogan on the glass...I ought to tape that on my mirror:)
Great doorway! I love the arch of this one...and the glass!
