Sears Tower from US Cellular 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?

US Cellular Field from Sears Tower

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 from the Sears Tower

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.

Charles Darwin in Chicago

The building in today’s photo is the Field Museum of Natural History next to Chicago’s Soldier Field. I rented a bike while in Chicago and rode along Lake Michigan, a highly recommended activity should you find yourself in Chicago on a summer morning. I’m a big fan of Darwin, but I didn’t have time to go inside.

Chicago Bean

Yesterday’s entry reminded me of this photo I took in Chicago a couple of summers ago. The Cloud Gate sculpture is fairly difficult to photograph with no people around, but on that morning I was the only one in the area. I think I’ll share a few other pictures from Chicago with you this week over the next few days.
