Soldier Field and the Sears Tower

The last, and closest, stadium that can be seen from the Sears Tower is Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears. The construction in progress at the time tainted what would have otherwise been a nice photograph.

Here is a picture I took a couple days later when I was close to the stadium. I rode around the stadium on a bike but apparently didn’t take any shots while doing so. I must have been having too much fun darting around the Greek, doric columns to remember to pull out my camera.

And, in keeping with tradition, I present a view of the Chicago skyline and the Sears Tower from Soldier Field.

Following the pattern, let’s turn things around again and do a reverse angle on yesterday’s shot. We’re not done yet with this theme. Guess what’s coming tomorrow?

Continuing on our current thread of ballparks and Sears Tower, US Cellular Field, where the Chicago White Sox play, is much easier to spot from Sears Tower. This image didn’t require any cropping.

I saw the White Sox play a few nights later. For some of those photos click here.

Sears Tower from Wrigley Field

Sears Tower is the tall building on the right side of today’s photograph. For more on this picture see yesterday’s post.

Wrigley Field, home of the Chicago Cubs, and Sears Tower are really nowhere near each other. But I was visiting both on the same day so when I was in the observation deck on the top of the Sears Tower in the morning I asked someone to point out where Wrigley Field was to me. I couldn’t identify it with my naked eye, but I pointed my camera that way anyway, put it on maximum zoom, and pushed the button. After a generous crop I had myself the above picture.

Tomorrow I’ll show you the opposite view, Sears Tower from Wrigley Field a little later in the day after a ride on the Red Line.
