 Chicago Picture blog
 Well I know it is late but I promised it so here it is...


 Beautiful water ways  and buildings to rival even the great NYC...



 I must say this is realy a clean city for as large as it is... But a pain to drive in... but a clean city.


So many of us will see buildings every day in the places we live and untill I went into the Sears tower I never fully understood what we could be missing... But the next 3 pictures will show how a kinda cool building from the ground looks amaizing from the sky. And the funny thing is when I took the pic from the ground (the first pic) I had no idea I would be looking at it once I got up there.


I mean here is the ground lvl I am looking at it from a distance and it is kinda cool... good thing I have a good camera lol


the backwards "s" is the same building and understand I am 99 stories up. but I still thought you might want to see it a little closer so I jumped and took a picture just for you guys....


yeah ok so no jumping... I just relied on my camera... but kinda cool huh... I know I am a dork but I guess seeing it from the ground just did not give it justice to me...
Now for a few just randome pics....
 



 

Want to see where I parked? look close at the picture under the text there... I am sure you can see it.... kinda like a wheres "Doug-o" picture book...


ok I'll zoom in a bit...
 


ok well you cant really see it... I parked just under that overpass... but still I was amaized at how close I could get.


I had to add this kinda cool pic from the science museum... that is me... some kinda infrared camera played up on a blue screen.... looks like I have sun glasses on and I am going bald lol 

 


Time to go home... this pic is from the hwy on my way to the air port... 



sorry it took so long to post this... as you can see traffic was a mess so I was a little delayed...

  Smile... the guy in front of you is just in a big a hurry as you are...

Great pictures Doug. I am looking forward to going to Chicago one of these days. I have heard it is an amazing to visit. There are pathways along the downtown and that water is fabulous. Thanks for sharing.

Love the photos, Doug! They are astounding! That's a city I've yet to pay a visit to, but hope to someday. I'll make sure I have a chauffeur, as I will NOT be driving in that crazy of a mess traffic!

If I go back it will be because I got published, and to thank the man there who has helped me so much... if the money is good... then yes I will lol if the money is not then I am afraid you will have to hitch hike just like me.
