A Night in the Windy City

There's something about big cities thats special to me. I'm not sure if it's because there's always something exciting happening, like a sporting event, a theater event or food and drink event. Or if it's because the buildings and architecture are so much larger and grander than what I'm used to on the west coast. Either way, there's something about cities like Chicago or New York that excites me, and even though it's not the same as being there, looking at photos from past trips always puts a smile on my face.

 

This is from the top of the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower) in Chicago. We had a busy day exploring the city so by the time we made it to the observation deck the sun was gone. The night time views are still spectacular, it just takes a little extra work to shoot through the glass without picking up reflections. In the end it's all worth it, the city really isn't alive until the lights are turned on.

 

I almost forgot to mention, the best part about visiting the Willis (Sears) Tower, is you're directly across the street from my favorite pizza in the world. Once we had our fill of the views, we headed straight to Giordano's for the best deep dish you can get.
