These Japanese anemone were part of a floral landscape that surrounded a portion of a fountain in the courtyard of the Aon Building on Randolph Street in downtown Chicago.
I shot this picture in July 2012, but before being allowed to do so, I had to get clearance from Aon security.
There are several, beautiful waterfalls and fountains on this Aon property and another picture, Water – Untitled #38 (also available in our Etsy Shop), was taken this same day. Despite the security drama (they were quite professional, cordial, and accommodating), I was able to take 75 pictures of the exterior grounds and building itself. I found it quite a fascinating adventure and could easily have returned several times to take more pictures but that part of Chicago has endless possibilities, attractions, and opportunities.
