There is a welcoming blue glow inside the main vestibule of the Shedd Aquarium, and I love the contrasting yellow colors in that area. Many of the motifs in the area are also sea themed like the shells in this photo.

The staircase in the Ironwood Theater was absolutely gorgeous! (And we’ve already established that I like photographing staircases.)

I have always loved the more abstract forms in architecture and row after row of seating is no exception.  The Ironwood Theater had these chairs produced to be as close to the original seating as possible, and the chairs come in various widths so that you’re not always staring at the head in front of you.

The Ironwood Theater is nearly 100 years old (built in 1928). Starting 30 years ago, a group of volunteers began restoring the theater to its former glory, and you can definitely see portions of their handiwork through the photos this week.
