The gorgeous collection, showcasing all seasons, reveals enchanting water attractions around Chicago from both the sky and the ground.

 

“Barry Butler’s ability to see the extraordinary in everyday locations, combined with an unflinching talent for capturing the right moment with lightning-strike precision, has led him to be called ‘Chicago’s picture poet,’ and we’re thrilled to showcase his extraordinary photography here at Navy Pier,” said Navy Pier President and CEO, Marilynn Gardner. “It’s exciting to see the city you love through the eyes of an artist who shares that same passion for Chicago.”
