Description
A beautiful tree in the busy heart of the Chicago Loop.
For those of you who know Chicago: on the left (that little white strip of stone) is 333 N Michigan Avenue (1928), and on the right is the Old Republic Building (1925). I'm standing on North Michigan just south of the Chicago River, looking east. You'd have a great view of this tree if you stood on E Wacker, just east of Michigan, and looked south. There's a little park in there.

Lovely shot Tara and that tree really makes it.
superb
Superb capture Tara. God Bless.
Wonderful, I love urban trees, they make such a difference to the environment.
fascinating lines
Lovely pic. If thta building was on fire I'd probab;y burn as the escape looks so frightening!
beautiful seen like the contrast between !!
WOW! I like this shot very much with th lovely tree and the wall behind it and the CLIMB stairs :) And I agree with Andrea...I would HATE to enter the stairs.
Great capture I would be afraid to climb down it... I am so terrified of heights Love the tree beside it tho....... I posted a new one......would love to see you drop by Hugs Susan~
I love this shot. Great composition. :)
Superb capture
A great contrast between.....awful (but practical) and beautiful... Well shown, and nice to know just where it is! Rob
Trees are such resourceful entities aren't they!...They will grow where they feel like growing, whether they have been planted or just found a place to grow. The lungs of the planet, I like trees :}
A survivor? Bravo lady nature and of course for this shot.Have a nice week end Helle.
Nice shot and great composition. At first glance of the title, I was thinking it was the fire escape and not the tree that was behind the word Climb.
Most Xcellent urban settings photograph!
Very cool capture
excellent composition. Beautiful city shot.
That white building is absolutely amazing! Wow! And while I very much appreciate the zigzag stairs, tacking them onto the outside of that building is almost unforgivable; what were they thinking? A breathtaking shot, Tara, and that tree is like frosting on the cake!
I, for one, like fire escapes. Modern high-rise city buildings have incorporated fire-resistent inside fire-escape stairs but back in the day, I suspect pre-1950s, these were mandatory and today make a very interesting photographic add-on subject. And of course, the tree sets this whole urban landscape shot apart from all those other alleys out there:) Nice!
Superb! This one is so great. I thank you for it. 5+!
So many great things about this shot--most of all just makes me want to go back and see more!!
Beautiful Urban capture!!!
Good POV and patterns
I often see beautiful trees in urban settings (noticed one today, as a matter of fact), but I always think that the buildings around them ruin the scene & so I end up not taking a photo. This is a wonderful example of how to include urban architecture with a natural object in a very satisfying way. Great work, Tara...
looks like it's competing. or perhaps wants a glimpse of the sky too? it's beautiful!!!
Puff, puff, woooofhhhh... Makes me out of breath just looking at those stairs! I really love the contrast between all the angular lines of the buildings, and the curves, angles, and colors of the single tree. Wonderful shot, Tara!
excellent !
Fantastic image , great POV !Very beautiful photo!
I had my eyes on the fire escape too...what a great place to build up the leg muscles climbing. Interesting shot. Aloha
