I humbly submit this photo taken in Chicago of the skyline from the Pilsen neighborhood--once a Polish enclave and now multi-cultural. This is typical of the buttermilk sky in Chicago on a lot of days of the year. I've kept this photo because it tells a bit of the history of Chicago in one big bite.
On the far right, hardly peeking out is one of the earlier skyscrapers, the Amoco Building. In the middle is the tall, dark Sears Tower, reigning tallest building with the best view over the city and Lake Michigan. And then to the far left, a very old church steeple, the 'tallest' to the real people in this neighborhood.

Tell Tom I sent you.

This pictures makes me miss Chicago. I lived there years ago and worked in the City. What a wonderful city it is. Thanks for this skywatch!
as you say, finally it's Friday ... and I can take a whole trip around the world seeing great skies and places without leaving home!
Beautiful Chicago.
Congratulations.
Nice photo of the city.
Great picture. I'm with "quintarantino" on seeing the world without leaving home. I love it.
Great pictures, well done.
You make Chicago look good.
Thank you for interesting view and commentary!
A good contrast between the steeple and the tower - some might see it as the old religion and the new.
I must say that I have not seen Chicago in ages but your photograph brings back some memories. I have a friend who lives in your neighborhood. A nice SWF photo post.

Chicago's neighborhoods are wonderful, and so is this picture
The sky against the building, a small town landscape as it should be.
