Thank you very much for these magnific pictures!

Beautiful pictures you took. Chicago is a great city, really nice. We liked it very much and we miss it. We would like to return there as soon as possible.

Congratulations and greetings from Madrid, Spain!

Thanks for all the positive comments, I'm glad everyone enjoys the shots. As much as I'm lurking around this city, I can't get enough of it and I think it'll be interesting to look back on these photos 30 years from now and see how much Chicago has changed, as long as it retains it's current charm, beauty and quality of course. =)

CHEERS!

Great pics, amazing city! What is the skyscraper to the left in the first skyline pic? Is it Central Park bldg?

Urban beast indeed! Chicago has so many architectural masterpieces from each time period.

Not quite sure what building you're looking at. Can you specify a little better?

More and more cameras are coming out with the ability to create panos. You switch to the panos option, press the shoot button once and then swipe the camera in the air as far as you want the pano to go, and then hit the shoot button again and it creates it right there on the spot. I've taken dozens in this city as well as a few in others. So glad I gave this camera a shot.
