Description
Chicago, Illinois. For those of you who know the town: this is behind the library, near the Fisher Building and DePaul University, between Dearborn and State, on Van Buren. Part of The Loop. An elevated train transfer point.
Did we go up? No. I have no idea why, but I've never set foot on one stair of one El station.
One day I'll actually take a ride! You just KNOW I have to go back. :D

love the old part
What an astonishing collection of styles, angles, colours, textures and patterns! Wonderfully captured in a single image.
Super bit of Chicago but there looks to be a paint job coming up!!
well seen ...
Progress!? Great capture, Tara.
interesting !
I like the way the new overshadows the old. Nice.
Very graphic - nicely done!
What a completely confusing tangle of styles and buildings, walkways etc... I'd be totally lost! lol Fine shot Tara! Rob
Like Andrea, I'm amazed by the meshing of so many styles; you got a great compo with the skyscrapers behind and the rusty structure in the front. And I'm really drawn to the old streetlamps in the bottom left corner, I'd love to do a photographic study of just them!
Superb capture Tara. God Bless.
Spectacular urban living photograph!
I love the bold colors and geometry - perfectly urban :) Wonderful image!!
A fascinating combination of old and new.
It is very well done. I thank you. 5+!

Lovely image,
Interesting shot of old and new, lines and shapes.
love the lines here
Old and new. Good contrast.
Sometimes when a thing is there all the time,we tend to overlook it.An interesting angular composition.
You are sending me back to my Chicago files...there's always more isn't there? Ahhhh, the composition is right-on:*
Something old, Something new, and nothing borrowed but Something blue! Quite a spectacular presentation Tara - so sunny! BB
Fantastic composition Tara. What a mix of architectual styles!
Love the combination of antique and modern elements. The street lamps in the foreground are a great touch.
Oh, my goodness... What a wonderful smorgasborg of delightful eye-candy! All the curves, angles, details, colors..... and those delicious street lamps! What a great shot, Tara!
The old and the new - creative composition! Clive
