Iconic view of the Chicago River, the Wrigley Building and the impressive Chicago Riverwalk taken from E Wacker Drive. Bridge crossing the river is N Michigan Avenue.
The Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago next to the Wrigley Building and N Michigan Avenue.
Chicago River and the Sheraton Chicago.
Chicago Sheraton features again, as the Chicago River flows out towards Lake Michigan.
Portillo's flagship store at 100 W Ontario Street in Chicago. The best shredded beef sandwiches and hot dogs I've ever tasted, all with a definite Windy City flare. Go here if you're in Chicago. It's iconic and it's delicious.
It became a beautiful afternoon - too beautiful to not visit the Hancock Tower Observation Deck. Navy Pier juts out into Lake Michigan. (Excuse the exposure of the deck's windows in the upper right corner!!)
Downtown Chicago in all it's sunny glory. The iconic Sears Tower is in the right of this shot.
Now officially known as Willis Tower, it was Sears Tower for years and years, immortalised in nearly every modern movie about Chicago, and will always be remembered that way by most Chicagoans and those who visit.
Lakeshore Drive trails off into the distance along the immense Lake Michigan. The shadows of the buildings in the water are amazing!
Another shot of downtown Chicago. Not quite visible from here are the lakefront parks, and iconic Chicago locations like Soldier Field, the Adler Planetarium and the Field Museum.
Known colloquially simply as "The Bean" the Cloud Gate sculpture by Anish Kapoor sits as the centerpiece of AT&T Plaza in Millennium Park and is one of the city's biggest tourist attractions.
In the shadow of the Cloud Gate sculpture at AT&T Plaza in Millennium Park is the seasonal McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink, very popular during the holiday season.
The McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink with The Heritage at Millennium Park and the Crain Communications Building visible in the background.
Another iconic sculpture in Millennium Park, the Crown Fountain, showing images of everyday Chicagoans. The fountain is a popular escape from the heat of summer, though there was no such problem on this day.
A view of downtown Chicago, including Navy Pier and Sears Tower, from the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel.
