Reflection of the boat trip

It was super exited for me, because it’s my first time to taking a boat trip in my life. That is why I thought what a great choice it was. Also the guide was excellent!! She was extremely knowledgeable, interesting and entertaining. We learnt so much about how modern Chicago evolved into the beautiful city it is today. The information was put across in such an interesting and fun way, that it was not monotonous or in the least boring. The weather was beautiful, the boat had a bar and toilet facilities and was clean and comfortable. The boat wasn't so crowded so I could move around to take advantage of the photo opportunities. Here are some photos that I took. 


This was my first activity in Chicago and it was a great way to learn about the history and architecture of this beautiful city.

Color

Color is the element of art that is produced when light, striking on object, is reflected back to the eyes.

For me, my favorite color is the blue. Because I would like to stare blue sky or ocean. It  makes me feel like I am in heaven. I could feel peaceful, freedom, or endless something. Also in my country which is Mongolia we believes that we are highly connected to the blue sky and we adores that sky color of blue.


So, I didn't feel much about this color shift cause I am color blinded. I can not compare that much colors because usually they all looks same for me, but one thing that i like from this brochure is Threshold. I felt like I am in the computer system. It was giving the illusion that the gallery walls must contain a secret portal, perhaps to another world.

Architectural experience

For me Chicago is one of my most favorite cities in the world because of the skyscrapers. When I am came in Chicago very first time I visited to the John Hancock Center. I mesmerized by the view from the top of building. It was beautiful to see around the city and Lake Michigan.  




The view from the observation deck is not as high as the Sears Tower, but is more interesting because it is nestled in the cluster of buildings downtown. It is designed by engineer Fazlur Kahn and architect Bruce Graham from Skidmore, Owings and Merrrill, was completed in 1970. It is located on Michigan Avenue in Chicago, near Water Tower Place


The Hancock Observatory the restaurant and the bar, besides the stores, are the main tourist attraction in Chicago, if you come to Chicago and don’t go there is like never been in!!!! The view is fantastic, even at the restroom that why is world-renown skyline.
