Windy City River

Shot of the Chicago River (is that its name?) from a bridge, facing upriver (west-ish).

Chicago Skyline

The steps up to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago offers this stunning panorama of the city skyline. I took this without a tripod (actually, I’ve done all my panoramas so far without a tripod :S), so it’s not perfect, but the view more than compensates for that. The Shedd Aquarium itself was pretty cool too.

I’ve been to Chicago again, this time with my parents and siblings. And no tourist can go to the Windy City without visiting either the Sears Tower or the Hancock Building. This is the second time I’ve been in the Hancock Building – last year I had a $54 brunch on the 95th floor (mmmmmmm). The observation deck on the 94th floor is just as cool, but it doesn’t have the food.

Surreal Skyscraper

Here’s a skyscraper I shot in Chicago. It looks like it’s been pasted into the picture, and the clouds create surreal light effects on its face.
