Chicago_Skyline

The Chicago skyline as seen between the Field Museum and the Adler Planetarium. The Sears Tower is on the left and the Hancock Building is on the right.

EastChicagoLine

We actually stayed in northwestern Indiana and took the train in. However, my sense of timing was off, so we spent a lot of time at the train station looking at this view.

EastChicagoWait

Is that train ever going to show up?

Hancock_Far

Here is a far-off view of the Hancock Building. I know the Sears Tower is larger, but I always liked the look of the Hancock Building.

Hancock_close

We are getting close to the Hancock Building. Man, that thing is tall.

Hancock_up

I had to lean against a railing to get this shot up the side of the Hancock Building.

Hancock_down

Here is a shot from the Hancock Observatory looking down (mostly) to the street level. Obviously, we are way up.

Hancock_Down2

Here is another shot from nearly a third of a mile up looking mostly down.

Hancock_Skyline

The Chicago skyline as seen looking south-southwest from the Hancock building. The Sears Tower is in the center.

Hancock_Wrigley

Here is one of the most famous baseball parks in America, Wrigley Field. Unfortunately, this was as close as I got to it on this trip.

Hancock_North

Here is Chicago north from the Hancock Building along Lake Michigan.

Hancock_Gayle

The Hancock Building ended up putting us to work. Gayle got a temporary job as a window washer.
