Description

WISH YOU WERE ALL HERE :-) Day 2 of 8 day road trip for three of us Renderositians, that being 1) debbielove, 2) Buffalo1 and 3) yours truly, bmac62. This photo taken of the Sears Towers in Chicago, Illinois. At 103 stories, this is touted as the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. 45 minutes after this picture was taken we are at the top taking pictures! Beautiful day...and you can see forever. Plenty of pictures to post in a few more days!! Bill:) P.S. Will remain scarce comment-wise until returning home in a couple of more days.

Great shot, Bill, and your polarizing filter did the job for you. I didn't even try to get this shot because of the sun reflection on the upper stories.

Stellar POV employed to capture the perspective and majesty of these skyscrapers contrasted against the partly cloudy skies, Bill! When I saw your ebot I thought you had returned from your Grand Tour of the midwest. Because of its military implications, I've been holding off many of my Memorial Day Ceremony shots until you get home.

Hey it cleared up down there for you guys. It's raining and cold up here in the North yet. I hope you are having a great time. I've been to the Sears Tower, is the observation deck still open to the public? Those could be some cool shots. This is a great picture, kind of makes you small though. I miss the birds. Can't wait to see all your captures though. Take care, Cheri

Wonderful shot, Bill!! Hope you are having a wonderful trip and enjoying meeting the others! From what I have heard, it seems it's best to see this building in the middle of summer rather than in winter in the 'windy city'!
