Description
This is a companion piece to four other views from the 99th Floor already posted during the last week.
Scene looking south to southeast from the top of the Sears Tower. As your eye follows the Lake Michigan shoreline you come to the southern end of the lake and where the State of Illinois bumps into the State of Indiana. The first major city of Indiana...way out there (tiny here) is Gary, Indiana.
Geography, isn't it wonderful? It certainly impacts different people in different ways.
Thanks for stopping by and all your wonderful support via comments and favorites!!!
Do ZOOM...this is a big file.
Bill:)
P.S. The streaky window problem is back with us in this panorama. Next time I'll have to schedule the window washers the day before my arrival:-)

beautiful panorama.
Very beautiful capture and I really like the format!
Really impressive! Gotta admit. My 'views' seem to be of my closer areas... Which is good. I'll post after a gap. I changed to my 300mm lens as well for close ups on some items - remember? But this IS a really cool shot. Well done. Rob.
Beautiful cityscape pano Bill! Thank you and everyone for the welcome back my friend!
Such an awesome view!!!!
Beautiful view!
this is an unbelievable wide view with so many details... just wonderful!
yeah, sneaky little devils those window washers, lol...a big sprawling shot of the midwest, flatter by far than where you live, and really getting the feel for this massive urban sprawl. If you go down the lakeshore, you'll see small highrises a ways down: That's Hyde Park, where I went to school (U. of chic), and then it goes down and down from there. (Hyde Park was originally a suburb, named after the area in England. Frank Lloyd Wright built his first masterpiece there, and it's where the atom was split too.) And you see the huge sprawl of the south side, it's massive highways, the massive urban blight—there are sections out there where the industrial vistas are out of a 24th C. science fiction film, they go on forever. And there are old train yards larger than some cities. And you got the clouds that day, and the sense of muddle as the light is blotted out. A lotta people live there, from all over the globe; there are still neighborhoods where people speak little english. And next to plush neighborhoods you have blighted ones, and it goes on and on. It's not a megalopolis, but it's the closest thing we have to it in America, next to LA and NYC, and this shot captures the good, the bad, and everything in between. Loved the series, each shot was a pleasure to see...
