A throwback to Independence Day. The giant flag in this shot is covering the Wrigley tower in Chicago. Harking back to simpler times and the great post war boom of the roaring twenties the Wrigley tower (completed 1921) was built by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr and is a fusion of french renaissance and spanish revival architectural styles. The neo-Gothic building across the road is the Tribune Tower (completed 1925) which was built to house the Chicago Tribune Newspaper back when Newspapers were large revenue earners.

@intrepidphotos! Wow this photo blew up in terms of author rewards! Any idea what the heck happened? It's a cool photo (looks almost like a model 3D puzzle), but can't be compared to your usual insane nature photos.
I saw smartsteem had an unusually high availability of votes so I grabbed them (as it is hard to pass up free money and promotion and the trending pages are screwed anyway). Hopefully you get a good curation reward because of it.
Ah I see. Didn't realize smartsteem doesn't use a delegation model... votes are coming from many accounts
They have both a direct vote market and a bot. I don't particularly like the design of the system here where you have to upvote your posts to compete but I am a pragmatist and an engineer and happy to play the game. I prefer a vote market over a bot as it somehow seems more democratic.
It's gotta be some bot army or curation trail yeah? Interesting how there are so many votes in the $1 dollar range.
I wish it was an army of benevolent bots .
hehe this photo like movies building
nice shot man !
Thanks
beauty skyline
its amazing!
Happy Independence Day
Wow! I like your photo, Chicago is very nice and impressive.
Thanks
Nice shot! I was actually in Chicago while they launched fireworks, once, and went to the top of our hotel to watch. The sound of the blasts bouncing off the various angles and surfaces of the buildings is interesting... and loud!
Yes they have fireworks every week I think over summer. We also saw some from down near the observatory.
Stunning view! Happy Independence day everyone!
Cheers.
Chicago is awesome. Love my city.
