Chicago

Undoubtedly, the main attraction of Chicago is the profile that draws its skyscrapers in the sky. The best views are seen from Lake Michigan. It is the extension of the city with a wide angle so one may photograph the entire skyline. It is also possible to have a good view from the Adler Planetarium in the south, or from the northern beaches, but you cannot see the entire skyline. The Chicago skyline is alive. After the boom of the 70's, which brought emblematic skyscrapers like the Sears Tower and the John Hancock Center, the construction of tall buildings ceased a little bit. Currently, the city is experiencing a new town-planning process of renewal and the proof is the recent, or planned Trump Tower Chicago Spire.

There are plenty of scenic spots in this city, but this is perhaps one of the best places for views of the Chicago skyline. You can see two rows of skyscrapers, new and old buildings, and Lake Michigan, a huge body of water the size of a sea. It's often crowded with tourists taking photos, and shouldn't be missed!

Chicago is known, among other things, for being a city that has really cold winters. This nighttime photo of the Marina Towers located along the Chicago River almost made me freeze. It was -15 and it was cold but the fog on the windows lit up offering an intriguing perspective, as if the towers were a spaceship about to take off.
