Barry Butler’s 22 image exhibit is a celebration of many of the views of the Lake Michigan, the Chicago River and Buckingham Fountain.
Whether you live in Chicago or are a tourist to the Windy City, you will find that water brings life to Chicago.
From the Chicago Air & Water Show to the Fireworks at Navy Pier to taking a tour on the River or the Lake via one of the cruise ships, water is the main thread involved in the entertainment.
