Navy Pier. The tourist trap every city has. Though it is worth a ride on the Ferris Wheel.

This is a black and white photograph of the iconic Ferris wheel at Navy Pier in Chicago, captured from a low central perspective. The Ferris wheel stands tall and symmetrical at the center of the image, with dramatic, swirling clouds filling the sky above. Broad, stone steps lead up to the base of the wheel, dividing the foreground into two wide, sweeping sides. On the left, a small striped carnival tent and curved architecture are visible. On the right, a domed white structure contrasts the dark sky. People are scattered throughout the scene—some ascending the stairs, others walking in the open plaza below. The overall mood is bold and dramatic, emphasizing the vast sky and towering Ferris wheel.
