Monroe Harbor

Monroe Harbor is located in the heart of downtown Chicago. It is the home of the Chicago Yacht Club and Columbia Yacht Club. I love walking around this place because of the scenic view of the Chicago skyline and of Lake Michigan. Navy Pier can also be scene at the other side of the river banks. I took this shot around 5 in the morning with my friends who are also into photography.
