Chicago River for couples: sunset and golden hour by date

A river of light runs west between the towers, and from a downtown bridge you get to stand right in the middle of it.

In the reel: The couple at the Riverwalk railing at night, seen from behind, her head on his shoulder, looking up the Chicago River toward the lit towers and the bridge, the city lights spilling across the water.

This is the main stem of the Chicago River looking west from a downtown bridge, the Riverwalk lit along the left bank and the next bridge sitting low in the middle. The closest match is the Clark Street Bridge looking toward LaSalle; Dearborn, one bridge east, gives almost the same canyon. The drawing bends the skyline, so we leave the tower at the end of the view unnamed: the bridge, the water and the lit bank are exactly here.
