XV - The Main Branch

2000: Boating along the main branch of the Chicago river where pleasure craft and tour boats, the pollution control boat, and water taxis ply the river near Marina City and the Dearborn Street Bridge. Also shown are Chicago's untitled sculpture by Pablo Picasso and a bit of Chicago winter. Insets show the Marshall Field's clock on State Street, a river view, the Art Institute lion and the Loop elevated.
