Woody Guthrie penned "This Land Is Your Land" 86 years ago in 1940, in response to Irving Berlin's "God Bless America." It was among the first songs to be chosen by the Library of Congress for inclusion in the National Recording Registry.

This is my new account, would love a follow here!! Join us Thursdays at #humansofBluesky. Urban scale meets color punch. A lone walker in vibrant magenta crosses North Wabash Ave, dwarfed by Chicago's towering skyscrapers. #luiscordobapharchive #street #Chicago #EWackerDrive #NWabashAv

Vertical orientation street photograph titled "The Wayfarer, Making His Own Path — North Wabash Avenue, Chicago." Low-angle perspective looking south along North Wabash Avenue near East Wacker Drive. In the foreground, a lone walker in a bright magenta sweater and light trousers crosses a painted pedestrian crosswalk. The framing showcases a rich array of historic and modern Chicago architectural landmarks:

* On the right foreground stands 330 North Wabash (formerly the IBM Building / AMA Plaza), the iconic 52-story International Style dark steel-and-glass skyscraper designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (housing The Langham Hotel in its lower levels).
* Adjacent to it on the right is the historic LondonHouse Chicago building (85 E Wacker Dr) with its classical stone facade.
* Down the avenue background, visible signage marks the historic L7 Chicago by Lotte (formerly Kimpton Hotel Monaco Chicago at 225 N Wabash Ave).
* In the distant skyline background to the left, the blue reflective glass of the St. Regis Chicago tower rises into a deep, clear sky.

Optimized for Chicago street photography, North Wabash Avenue, IBM Building Mies van der Rohe, LondonHouse Chicago, Hotel Monaco L7 Chicago, St Regis Chicago skyline, architectural scale, color pop street portrait, and Chicago Loop cityscape indexing.
