On my recent trip to Chicago, I saw quite a few things in a short time. On the second to last day, it was raining on and off, and it was cloudy. The rain seemed to get some of the haze from the previous days out of the air and also made for an interesting sky.
The first picture below is taken from near Adler Planetarium. It features the lake side of the Shedd Aquarium in the foreground and the cloud-shrouded Willis (Sears) Tower and a portion of the adjacent skyline in the background.
Shedd Aquarium and Willis Tower
The picture below is taken from the observation deck of Willis Tower where some crazy person installed glass boxes where you can stand out over the street and river below. I walked out on it just so I could say I did it, but this was under protest from the more self-preserving parts of my brain.
