Default Chicago from land and air
Last Thursday evening I flew my wife to Chicago for a conference. Friday while she was attending meetings I walked around and tried out my fisheye lens. We have been to Chicago numerous times and this time we had the best weather. Here are some of the photos I took:

Water Tower:


Trump Tower:

Default From the air
On Saturday morning I took a friend flying under the Chicago class B airspace and lake front. Some of you may remember seeing the wonderful photos posted by Dave Gamble last week. We had a very similar view of the city:









It was a wonderful trip indeed.
