This is quite possibly the greatest photo thread I've ever seen.

AN INCREDIBLE TOUR!!

I really like the perspective of several of the downtown shots, especially the ones taken from the height of about 50 floors (such as the views from the River North area, looking east, or the views from Lake Michigan looking to Lake Shore Drive). Typically, I see views from either the 110th floor of Sears Tower or an aerial view from a higher elevation. But the view from 50 floors allows a great perspective on the density of the cityscape.

The neighborhood shots are also amazing! Whats mind-blowing is there are still lots more neighborhoods to be photographed--Will there be a Version 3 or even 4??

You gotta put these in a book somehow!!!

I'm speechless.

Chicago is so cool.
After examining the downtown from these pics it's hard not to think that it's looking more and more like an Asian city. The density and designs are very similar to what you see going up in this part of the world. It's awesome. Chicago is becoming a true leader in downtown residential development in the US.

Holy Cow!

Also, great to see some Bridgeport shots in there, that's a part of town we don't see too often on here.

Incredible set, simply awesome.

KC thank you so much!

Chicago's flat landscape is like a canvas for greatness, one day i'll look like Mount Everest.200 hundred years from now there will be clusters of 3000 foot towers in the heart of the loop with one in the middle reaching for the heavens.

Ummmm...wow. That's all I got.

Pure Chicago:

Another wicked aerial tour!

This is perhaps the best possible angle of the skyline. The Two Towers:

When CS is finished, you'll need a wide angle lens to extend the shot to the left. That'll look truly amazing.
