Rooftop Views - 600 West Chicago

Unusual location to snap pics from, but cool.

Chi-Nights: Driving Into The City On Leap day, 2012 In The Rain At 1080P HD

2010 Oak Brook Illinois Fireworks Grand Finale from 9th-floor balcony

CHI-Nights: 02-23-2012 03:00 CST Chicago River Randolph Street Bidge

A brief view over the Chicago River from the Randolph Street bridge shows
the Boeing building, General Growth, (Formerly Morton Salt) Mercantile
Exchange, Lyric Opera, and more.

The nice part is, my new phone has an 8 MP camera that does 1080 P video...so full-screen it.

Beautiful.

Chicago Blizzard at 23:55 CST 02/01/2011 Next To Lyric Opera House

The lights at the Lyric really helped the camera catch it, but it's far worse when seen with the human eye.
