In 2020, Chicago raised its bridges leading downtown during the BLM protests to try to limit crime and destruction in the area. As cool as this shot was to capture, it's bittersweet to know the context of why the bridges were all raised.
that is indeed a bittersweet story to this picture. And to make it even worse (maybe) to me all those raised bridges remind me of a greeting/salute that happen in old-fashioned rowing boats by raising all oars when passing by. To me it looked like if the city and/or those bridges are saluting that ship underway.
