[krulltime]

Totally amazing collection of pics... they look like they were very well chosen. Nice JOB!!! :D

I have some pics that I haven't upload yet from the same time you were there I think...the weather was surpricing. At one time it was sunny, the next it was cloudy, then it was raining, or it felt cooler or hotter the next day. :wink:

Indeed, I had that same experience, I was in Chicago July 4t/m7.

[BrooklynRider]

Definitely the 2nd best city in the US.

[Ptarmigan]

Chicago has an impressive skyline. The birth place of the skyscraper.

Thats it for my Chicago pics, hope you enjoyed them.

[TLOZ Link5]

Impressive, particularly the skyline. Magnificent.

Cute little town. It's my fifth favorite city in America after NY (of course), DC, Boston and SF. I would not want to live there though despite the fact that it's quite cheap (at least from a New Yorker's perspective).

[MrShakespeare]

...Little town????

*********

You did a fabulous job with those photos. I particularly enjoyed your shots of and from the El, but your photos of the Sears Tower, The Hancock Building, and the Aon (Amoco) Building were tremendous. Very nicely done.

Chicago is a special place. The only other city in America that has such an exceptional array of architecture and scenery is NYC.... Although San Francisco makes a superb effort, it cannot match the monumental skylines of NYC and Chicago.

Thanks for sharing your perspective on Chicago with the rest of us!

[londonlawyer]

...Little town????

Yes -- compared to NY it's quite small.

Those are beautiful images :D You are a great photographer. Chicago seems to look as beautiful as NYC but I prefer NYC :) Wish I could see pictures like that but of New York.

You're lucky! I've also been to New York on my holiday and those pics will be on these forums in probably one week.

[yyy]

YES!!!!! :D :) I can't wait to see photos from New York :D I really like New York's skyline. If your photos of New York are similar to those from Chcago I will be amazed :lol: Hope to see them soon. Thanks.

Great portfolio. Every one a beaut.

Although no longer in number, Chicago is still the Second City, a great metropolis.
