That's incredible. I can't recall ever seeing the skyline when travelling through Indiana on I90.

Taken from the roof of the tour bus!

Great pic!

And yes, it's pretty green.

Years ago, there was this typical inane ranking from Forbes stating that Chicago wasn't green.

The guy who wrote the ranking obviously has never been to Chicago...

This shot really shows how dynamic Chicago's skyline is. It has ups and downs, just like a roller coaster, and it forces your eyes to flow through it.

...as opposed to NYC (in my opinion) which has that knee-jerk "holy fuck that's a lot of buildings" reaction.

But yea, Chicago has tons of trees. Hell, sometimes I think there's more greenery here than in the suburbs.

I always thought the Chicago skyline was more aesthetically appealing than the New York skyline with the way it flows together rather than how Manhattan has that break between downtown and midtown.

Thank you for all these wonderful Chicago pictures. Chicago is my favorite city to visit.
