“Sky’s The Limit” - a photo on Flickriver

            A subterranean walkway at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport is illuminated by Hayden's neon.  The work, by Canadian artist Michael Hayden (1943-     ), is entitled 'Sky's The Limit' and was constructed in 1987. Sometimes called "The Gershwin Tunnel", this somewhat bizarre walkway connects concourses B and C of Terminal 1, which is operated by United Airlines.

Truly a remarkable journey.......as one traverses the tunnel the sounds of Gershwin's 1924 musical composition of Rhapsody In Blue permeate the area.  The sound is synchronized by computer with the color changes of the neon, for the final effect.

The effects in this photograph are the result of an image transformation application called "Prisma".  Prisma transforms normal photos into amazing images that attempt to replicate the human artistic touch.  This phone-based app turns photographs into digital art in the style of drawings, watercolors, and paintings.
