Two Prudential Plaza - a photo on Flickriver

Two Prudential Plaza

            Taken from Millennium Park in Chicago, Illinois.

This skyscraper is the 6th tallest in Chicago at 995 ft representing 64 floors.  I really liked the way it looked in the light at the time I took this shot.    

My sister and her husband worked on one of the very top floors of the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower), so I got to see downtown Chicago from above the clouds when I visited them.  Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me at the time, so I missed a wonderful opportunity to get some amazing shots.  And so it goes.  

From Wikipedia:

"Built in 1990, the building was designed by the firm Loebl Schlossman & Hackl, with Stephen T. Wright as the principal in charge of design. It has been honored with 8 awards, including winning the Best Structure Award from the Structural Engineers Association of Illinois in 1995."
