At bottom center stands the The Chicago Board of Trade Building, built in 1930. It is readily identified by the three-story art deco statue of Ceres,
goddess of agriculture, which caps the building. Other notable structures include the Chicago Natural History Museum (Field Museum), Adler Planetarium,
John J. Shedd Aquarium, Buckingham Fountain, the Conrad Hilton Hotel, the Auditorium Building, the red CNA Center and Chicago's famous El rapid transit (short for elevated).
Resizing this picture to ORIGINAL reveals a better view of the Taste Of Chicago Festival in Grant Park, from the ferris wheel south of the fountain northwards (left).
