A few photos...
From my Chicago trip.

While the weather was perfect for a walking tour, the lighting sucked!

Anyhow, here are a few. More to come later, maybe, after I do some more post processing.

Here's a partial skyline taken from Navy Pier:

A couple partial skylines taken from the vicinity of Shedd Aquarium. The first including the Sears Tower, the second including the John Hancock building:

And one of the Wrigley Building:

I'm still kicking myself for taking my long lens instead of my short lens. Chicago is so tightly packed in that a 55-200 zoom is too much. I would have been much better served with my 18-55 zoom (only room for one in my carry on). Next time I'm making damned sure to take both. Hopefully I'll also get better light next time. I still wish I had gone back down to the aquarium after getting back to the car. The night time view from there is spectacular! I also want to get some sunrise photos from there. Since the company I work for is headquartered there (Warrenville) and they like to have their employees out to the home office every six months to a year, I'll be back. I'm also hopeful to visit some of the other offices.

Well, I managed to hit Navy Pier, Millennium Park and the the Bean, the Chicago Library across the street, the Crown Fountain, Buckingham Fountain and out to the peninsula where the Shedd Aquarium and the Alder Planetarium are. On the way back to the car, I went back downtown for dinner, then took in some of the architecture and the river walk back to where I parked. About 10 miles walked all told, not counting various wandering about the various places I stopped.

Sounds like a marvelous time. Post more pics when you are ready. I haven't been downtown or waterfront for 10 years or more.

You know, for the first time ever I actually saw a muslim praying while I was out and about in Chicago. I was sooooo tempted to walk over and ask if he needed help finding his contact. Angel
