Chicago from Above

I thank you for all the comments! Here, for you, are the Favorite shots from my stream. Thanks again!

See it larger on www.stuckincustoms.com

I think I like this Chicago picture the best... I was glad to catch the blue of the lake and the particolored sunset.

This was taken from the John Hancock Building in North Loop Chicago

The large white building on the left by the lake is the AON Building...oddly built after and designed by the same engineering firm that made the World Trade Center Buildings in New York City.

It was constructed identically to the World Trade Center specifications and they wanted to call it World Trade Center Three, but Standard Oil Company bought the rights to the name of the building.

I've been in that AON Building in the upper floors and i know exactly what those victims in 9/11 were going thru. I can relate and identify with those people because I could envision a plane coming straight at the building at that height...and it's scary to tell you the truth.

See the photos...looks exactly and precisely like the World Trade Center: www.flickr.com/photos/sparkys_joint/250061592 /

The black building on the right--the tallest-- is the Sears Tower Building. Which has sadly been a target for terrorists world wide.

Christopher Chan says:

Here's a suggestion - next time close one eye, turn IS off and just to be safe, use a really slow shutter speed. We'd like to see some badly composed and blurred shots if you can manage it.
