Chicago 2024
Three sections: Buildings, Details, and Other.

Buildings
Chicago has a beautiful skyline — many different building styles, including Classical, Neo-classical, Modern, Post-Modern, Deco. The skyline can be seen from many angles, unlike Toronto and some other cities. And Chicago has not cluttered up Lake Shore Drive with buildings that block the magnificent view of Lake Michigan. These images are from a boat tour of the Chicago River.
Keep scrolling — it’s long. You can click on an image to enlarge it.
