This is a close up picture of the tomahawk patch on the sleeve of a Blackhawks jersey. This is an alternate logo for the Blackhawks that they started using in 1964/65. This picture was taken during the Blackhawks rally in June 2010 when they brought home the Stanley Cup.

Day 40: River Piling

A great way to take some interesting photos in Chicago is to take a water taxi. Whether it is summer, fall or spring, you always get some great views of the architecture and city of Chicago. This one was taken of the river piling while waiting at the Madison water taxi stop.
