The story behind this image

On our last night in Chicago, and our last night in the U.S.A., Liz and I determined to stay up late and experience as much as possible of the atmosphere in this friendliest of towns.

We spent our evening wandering around the street sculptures and fountains just off Michigan Avenue, and this rather amazing live action fountain come video wall was the last thing we saw and that I photographed in the U.S.A.

It was great fun watching the children splashing in the shallow puddle, and getting periodically soaked by a jet of water shooting out of the mouth of the video face.

With the lit skyline behind it was a fantastic scene to photograph and an equally fantastic experience to end our stay in the U.S.A.
