WOW I never expect to get so many comments. Thank you ALL for taking the time to comment and rate this photo.

That's the new Trump Towers on the right side of the photo. Its got the radio tower that is red and goes up to the top of the photo. It is now the second tallest building in Chicago because of it. Personally, I think the height of a building should only be measured from the top of the building, not the things placed on top.

Thanks, everybody. My first World View. WOO HOO!!! Dispite how much I fly around the country, going up to the top of the Hancock tower made me extremely nervous and very uneasy. Wonder why? I think next time it will be during the day. Maybe a sunset.

Thanks, again, everyone, for the congrats and nice comments.

Rob, excellent shot of my hometown City of Chicago!!!! Congratulations on a well-deserved AC and WORLD VIEW!!!!

I love going to the Hancock's Signature Lounge at sunset to watch the electric grid come alive in all those square streets and across the architecture of the skyline. I also like sipping wine at sunset in the Signature Lounge on the 96th floor for the same price as going up to the 98th floor observatory!

About robb04047
robb04047 I have a full time job during the day which deals with workforce optimization. I have been fortunate to travel the country as well as Europe and Asia. My Frequent Flyer Miles replaced an old Minolta SLR that was stolen 20 years ago. I used my miles and purchased the Canon T1i. It was love at first click. Taking pictures helps me forget about all the bad things in the world. Photography forces you to focus solely on the intimate beauty of nature. I have thousands of photographs on display through Facebook. They are mostly available to friends only. If you are interested in seeing other photos I have taken, please send me a friend request and mention Weather Underground.
