Carbide & Carbon

The golden hour is when the sun is setting and the light bathes everything in warmth and glow. This shot was taken from the rooftop of the Virgin Hotel as the light was hitting the gold leaf of this phenomenal art deco building in downtown Chicago before nightfall.

Built in 1929 out of black granite, green terra cotta, and gold leaf the Carbide & Carbon building is a distinctive landmark of the city.
