Ah, the Chicago skyline! I absolutely love this view of the city. The photo was taken last summer from the Adler Planetarium. It is, without a doubt, the most popular place in the entire city to take skyline photos. With Lake Michigan in the foreground, and the Willis Tower (formerly the, “Sears Tower) permeating the scene, it’s no wonder many a tourist proclaims this setting as their favorite when sifting through vacation pictures.
That is a great picture!
Thank you so much, Phil! Did you by any chance see the post I put up on Friday? It’s a photo of downtown Chicago: http://wp.me/p4doQv-Fl Cher xo
What a beautiful photo! When I lived in Louisville, KY I always meant to make it to Chicago but never did. Still on the list of places to go and things to do.
Thank you! Oh yes, you most definitely should visit Chicago sometime. As a Canadian living in this huge American city, I was quite overwhelmed by it at first. Now, I see what all the ‘fuss’ is about; it’s wonderful! Cher xo
Quite a skyline!
It truly is a wonderful skyline, Brett. At night it also has its charms. Cher xo
Very cool! heights all over in the steel ‘n concrete jungle 🙂
Alo, Andy! Oh you and your heights!! *LOL *clink* Cher xo

I knowwwww!!! That is so you, Andy!! ;-P xo
*GRIN*
*ginormous clink* 😉
Love this shot. Having spent 5 years in the city, this shot captures its essence.
Well thank you so much, David! You will be extremely familiar with this area! I really appreciate your words; I feel it ‘is’ Chicago; our skyline is our trademark, I think! Last Fall I counted 8 bridal parties all vying for space along this fantastic scene!! Cher xo
🙂 Yay!
*biggest grin*!! Cher xo
Just in Chicago this weekend visiting my family! so, so happy to see this skyline.
That is wonderful, Kimberly!! Welcome home! Cher xo
Nice picture. It was pretty darn cold when you and I stood there and had our picture taken last March!
*LOL* You’ve got that right, dearie!! I think someone said, “You guys look cold in that photo!” Um yes, we were!! Love, Cher xo
Marvelous city skyline – too bad the wind can’t be captured in photos.
Yes, that is a very good point! We sure feel it, though! Cher xo
Just love Chicago..nice photo!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Bonnie! And it is so good to see you! Cher xo
Reblogged this on georgeforfun.
I love the soft colours here, with just the one note of low-key red.
Yes, I love that too, Hilary. I have always noted the red building fits perfectly with the skyline. Cher xo
I hadn’t realized the skyline was so colorful.
Oh yes it really is. I think that is part of its charm, Joseph! Cher xo
Gorgeous skyline, Cher. Which building is the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower?
Isn’t it great, Carol? Yes, the Willis Tower (formerly Sears) is the tall, dark building that looks a bit like a Lego creation! Do you see which one I am referring to, Carol? Closer to the left side of the photo! Cher xo
Oh yes, Cher. The dark gray one. Thanks, dear. Having never been to Chicago, and doubt will, I depend on your wonderful “tour guidance” to inform. 🙂
Awh, bless! Thank you so much for that, dear Carol! That is so sweet of you to say! I’ll keep thinking of places to take photos! If you hear of something about Chicago you’d like me to investigate, please let me know and I will sure try to write about it! Cher xo
Another beautiful view of Chicago! Ya know, the “Willis Tower” (It’ll always be the Sears Tower to me) may soon become the Blackstone Tower. Why couldn’t this new owner have been named the Blackglass Group? http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-willis-tower-being-sold-biz-20150315-story.html
Thanks, Mike! I did not know about this! I just checked out the link. Let’s just say, “Sears Tower” and let everyone else worry about what to call it! *LOL* Cher xo
