Yes, that certainly most is a beautiful shot! So much so that I've had it saved in my files for years now! It shows how far north along the Lake very tall buildings extend beyond downtown, and thus it is a more complete view of what the Chicago skyline actually looks like in reality. I'd love to live there if it weren't so cold in the winter, but Miami is coming along with its new skyscrapers.

Outstanding!

Fabulous as always, hydrogen.

Has anyone ever told you how lucky Chicago is to have you capture this magnificent city on camera the way that you do? You certainly do this city justice unlike anyone else I have ever seen. I'm sorry I forgot my camera when I was there Memorial Day weekend, but I had other things on my mind that you'll learn about later.

I can't get over how incredible Trump tower is, it is easily my second favorite skyscraper in the city, and one of my favorite in the world

***i_am_hydrogen*** · June 10th, 2012, 05:47 AM

Thanks, everyone for the kind comments.

I'm not just being kind. The city is damn lucky to have someone capture it the way that you do. You really do make the city look as magnificent as it really is. Even though I didn't take any pictures, I can say that now that I've been there.

Hydro, I know you've been asked this a cabillion amount of times but What camera do you use? Your pictures are so life like! As if I am actually site seeing in downtown! It's amazing!

I know, they are incredible. I am about to empty my bank account to get the camera he has! We should also keep in mind that Hydrogen is an amazing photographer, probably the best on this site.

They are so jealous of him in the Urban Photo Contest that he never gets the votes he deserves.

I don't know if you ever went back to the Urban Photo Contest since we last talked about it, but I think you are casting your pearls before swine there. I think they hate the fact that both of us have such great subjects to work with. You Chicago and me Miami. I think this is considered an unfair advantage by many, particularly me with my aerial shots. Oh, well! What can we do except keep doing what we do!

I plan to be in Chicago again next weekend. I so hate the fact that I left my camera home when I was there last month that I have decided I have to go back as soon as possible. I don't care if I go bankrupt. I must get back to Chicago now!
