Here's one I took on Halloween in 2009.

A bit oversaturated but I liked the result so sharing it here

I'm almost in tears just looking at these photos and I've never known myself to have much of a fear of height. But these photos have me quivering!

People may already know about this webcam, but it offers a pretty sweet view along the north lakefront from Hollywood Beach all the way to downtown.

I saw this photo posted earlier in the thread. Does anyone know who took it? I'm wondering if there's a higher resolution image available because I'd love to frame this photo & put it up on my bare walls. I need a little bit of Chicago in my new DC apartment.
