Chicago

The Windy City

I have only spent one weekend so far in Chicago, other than a couple of layovers at O’Hare, but it is already clear to me that it is a city that I would love another opportunity to visit with my camera. As an engineer I love the array of skyscrapers, and no less as an amateur photographer. Chicago’s skyline is considered one of the most impressive in the USA, with the array of skyscrapers challenging the views that can be offered in cities such as NYC. Once the original home of the super-tall skyscrapers, it has bene overtaken by cities in the middle east. However, buildings like the Willis Tower (once Sears) still take the breath away.

    I like this image because it gives a real sense of height, looking down on the "smaller" towers from the dominating Sears Tower observation deck. 2008
