^usually when people do street photography of urban landscapes they avoid taking pics of people unless they can't help it (nerves I guess). Of course residential streets are never as active as main streets though....

It is skyscraper mecca! It is where the engineering technology that made skyscrapers possible was born. I was just there this weekend, but sorry, I forgot my Nikon. Forgetting my camera was a blessing in disguise though, because I'm used to traveling light. I've never traveled with my camera and tripod before. Lugging my camera and tripod around the airport the way I had planned to from standing in line getting my boarding pass and then making it to the gate would have killed me. I know better what to do next time.

One vista I want to capture on my next visit is the John Hancock Center at the end of Michigan Avenue framed by all the buildings along the avenue, and the Trump tower looked like a giant crystalline ice palace from that perspective above on the river with the way it caught the light from that angle. Lots of other interesting angles I want to scoop out.

I didn't care so much for the view from the top of the John Hancock Center though because the skyline all ran together from up there. I didn't make it to the Sears Tower though. Things got too exhausting, but saw lots of interestng angles for my next trip.

Chicago is the city of immigrants from from about 120 countries and more than 100 languages spoken there. Mostly the residents are immigrants. Therefore, it is considered as immigrant friendly place.
