Under the El, West Van Buren Street, Chicago

One notable feature of inner-city Chicago roads are the train tracks above them. Carrying the Chicago "L" line, their rapid transit system, these architectural wonders are unmistakably "Chicago". In this brightly contrasting shot, I managed to find a large puddle in the road (courtesy of the abysmal weather we'd had the two days prior) to turn this shot into something other than a simple tracks above the road photo.
