I wanted to share some pictures I've taken of downtown Chicago this weekend. I've lived in this great city all my life and never really seen it as a tourist. I can't believe I missed all this my whole life, you live in your city and take it for granted, so with out much further ado, Chicago!

    I'll look into correcting the horizon. On the 4th one if I had taken an axe to the tree, I'd might not been able to post these pics then :D or gotten hit by a car standing in a busy street rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks for the comments!
