Chicago Skyline Through the Winter Trees.
I am looking forward to spring but I must say this is one of my favorite shots of the city because of the bare trees infront of the skyline. Unfortunately the day was a bit more darker than I hoped for, but I'm glad I was able to get a few sunset shots in below.

Admiring The Skyline View
I could admire sunsets over the Chicago Skyline everyday. It's not always possible to take time to notice the simpler things.

Wacker Bridge View
I stopped just before the bridge and took this picture. I wish I could have stopped further ahead along Lakeshore drive over the Wacker bridge to take a better picture of the Chicago skyline.

The Beginning Of The Chicago River
I didn't stop but I did roll down my window and clicked on the snapshot while the car was in motion.

Heading Towards The Drake
The view from the drive is wonderful. The Chicago skyline looks best on a clear day. Luckily today was one of them, although I felt it ended too soon.

Cruisin' Down The Drive
My favorite pass time. Lakeshore Drive is the best when there is little traffic and the temperature is warm enough to roll down the window. Today was such a beautiful to do just that.

Skyscraper Reflection
This shot came out a bit blurry, but I liked how the other building reflected of this skyscraper. I will try to snap another picture of it and replace this one. Nonetheless, it's one I'll enjoy seeing.

Excalibur Nightclub
This establishment has been in business several years now. It's not my favorite club but a fun place to hang out once in a while. I do like that they have three dance sections and lower level pool tables.

Garage View
This is the view down from the parking garage where I leave my car when I drive into work. This shot reminds me of a simalr looking one I took in New York. The building across the street is very similar unfortunately this garage is not as tall as the hotel I stayed in NYC.

Wacker Avenue
This photo was taken during the weekend. Normally during the week this street is busy by the standard corporate workforce walking rapidly. Today it was completely deserted with te exception of a few tourist.

Tall Skyscrapers
So many tall buildings, make me feel even smaller than I am.

Chicago Rock&Roll McDonalds
I can't believe Rock&Roll McDonalds is being torn down. The plan is to build a new one. I'm not sure when the date is for it's completion.

Cactus Bar & Grill
A local bar around the corner of where I work. This Chicago bar gets pretty packed after work hours and is a bit loud for my taste but a fun place to wind down in after a long day.

Lincoln Park Church
I don't know the name of this church but I had to pull over and take a picture of it. I like the architecture of many church buildings but with the reflection of the sunset against it, this one just called to me.

Michigan Ave & Wacker Drive
Normally here is where the crowd begins to form as the Magnificent Mile begins.

Millenium Park Entrance
I've actually haven't been inside the park yet, but I know it's a Chicago favorite tourist spot. I can't wait until it's warmer out so I can take my dog for a walk here.

Picasso Sculpture
I remember when I was a kid, my mom would bring me to this famous sculpture. I recall chasing all the pigeons that gathered here :)

Empty Lot for a New Chicago Skyscraper
I've noticed many construction sites this year. It seems Chicago might get a few new buildings soon.

Michigan Ave. Traffic
There wasn't much traffic when this picture was taken, but enough for my car to be kept at a stop long enough for me to snap this picture.

Magnificent Mile Cross Walking
I had to wait for the pedestrians to cross the street so I could continue my drive-by photography.

Thanks to the giant billboard I know what I'll be watching tonight!

Riding the Orange Line
The morning was very cloudy and a bit drizzly at times. Nonetheless I wanted to snap some pictures of the Chicago skyline coming into work today. Instead I opted to take random shots as the train progress north heading downtown
