The Floating Chicago series was captured by photographer Craig Shimala and was completed over the span of a few years.
The photographer took pictures of different times of the Chicago skyline and created this ultra cool reflective series. Craig Shimala took these photos through his window and admits, "I'm still scratching my head on how long it took me to attend to that dirt spot on my window that shows up too often."
The Floating Chicago series showcases the beauty of manmade towers and buildings that create a cohesive scene. The reflection of the water is picture-perfect and uses the natural light in the best form possible.
Craig Shimala's Floating Chicago series would look fabulous in any city lover's home as it truly represents such a beautiful urban area.
