South Pond

Lincoln Park · Chicago

This Lincoln Park photograph was taken from the boardwalk bridge at the edge of South Pond, where the Chicago skyline rises above the trees and settles into the still water below it. It's one of the quietest places to see the city, and one of the most romantic — which is why so many couples choose this exact spot for their engagement and wedding photos, framed by the Hancock Center and a sky full of rolling clouds.

A lone Canada goose drifts through the reflection in the foreground, its wake the only thing disturbing the mirror of glass, stone, and sky.
