I like the way you capture the water - so sharp.

Nice thread for a frigid morning.

I ab love it. It is the tourist view. It could be posted and seen on a high quality TV travel channel and appreciated. Thanks for the pictures.


cheesy I know but most all new visitors to the fab new found shoreline not to mention real beach find the grasp of the inland sea memorable enough for a picture. Hell I live around these parts and cannot get enough of our great Lake Michigan

Everyone wants water pics and why not.



Over sea people esp. in the summer are usually in such awe of this gigantic inland fresh water sea that they weep in the fact that they were not educated prior to their visit and were not fully ready to except its full and expansive glory.


BTW you IOC voters eat your own eye out.

My main reason for coming to Chicago has always been Wrigley but if I don't a get good dose of the lakefront each trip I almost feel cheated. I really love the area from the Adler to the Shedd. You see people from all over the world there including a lot of beautiful people like these. ^

Loved It

Was there for the first time on Oct 10-11th running the Chicago Marathon. Unfortunately I arrived Saturday evening, had to get to bed early, ran the race, had to turn around and RUN to the hotel to get ready and get to Midway and get back to Duluth. So I didn't get any pictures which sucks because we crossed a couple of places where the skyline was PERFECT and would have even been more perfect with me standing there with my finisher's medal and shirt getting my picture taken! =)

2010 - I will have this figured out! Great pictures though!

I tend to like NYC better but Chicago does have the best skyline, about as perfect as you can get!!
