Mini Stream in Harms Woods

 Yesterday I went back along the dirt paths to that stream in Harms Woods-- which I 

discovered is actually part of the Chicago River-- in hopes of photographing 

autumn leaves on trees. All the leaves had fallen to the ground and

 the trees looked a bit barren, so I looked for things to take pictures 

of in the underbrush; which is how I spotted this little makeshift stream

 that's comprised of large pebbles and leads downhill into the river. 

There's a sense of tranquility and solitude "bubbling brooks" have,
 and I tried to capture that by shooting at f/1.8, getting as close as 
humanely possible and including the sunset in the out of focus background. 
I think it looks nice. Here's an aerial view:
