There is a channel that leads into the Diversey Motorboat Harbor in Lincoln Park.  On the south side of that channel is the tiered landing pictured here, with just a few trees.  I've walked past it several hundred times over the years. Yet, its simplicity continues to fascinate.

It was a lovely afternoon to experiment with infrared photography.  Yes, unlike Instagram, this photograph was created in camera using a camera that had had its Beyer filter removed.

This is a photograph that proves it is worth waiting for the right sunset, which could be tomorrow, next week, or in a month.  I am reminded of the series of photographs that Richard Misrach made of the Golden Gate Bridge over the course of one year, if I recall correctly.
