The photograph captures a breathtaking view of downtown Chicago, taken from a high vantage point. Towering skyscrapers dominate the scene, partially cloaked in low-lying fog that adds a soft, mysterious quality to the urban landscape. The most prominent structure in the image is the uniquely contoured St. Regis Chicago, a striking skyscraper designed by renowned architect Jeanne Gang. Its undulating, sculptural design stands out among the more traditional rectangular towers. A brilliant, vivid rainbow arcs down from the cloudy sky and appears to touch the ground behind the city’s buildings, adding a surreal and almost magical element to the scene. The sunlight breaking through the clouds enhances the colors and creates a glowing effect over the skyline. The photo is signed in the lower right corner with “© Gregory Rothman 2025”

Happy Wednesday evening. It’s still fog season in Chicago and tonight produced a stunning rainbow.
