I like this shot because on the left you can make out the airport and some planes, while on the right the construction equipment can be seen approaching over the not very distant horizon.

 

O'Hare International Airport is currently undergoing a massive expansion of its runway network. The only problem was that they do not have enough room to expand and therefore pursued an aggressive series of maneuvers to acquire the property they needed. This meant that a cemetery must be moved, and dozens of houses and businesses must be bought and moved out of neighboring Bensenville. Here are a few shots from one of the streets.
