Hey All!
I was away in Chicago all last week on business.
Got to go to the top of the Sears Tower.
Sorry for the quality as I did not take my Nikon D-70 with me

Looking Up!

Looking South

Looking East

Looking North

RIP Meigs!

Very cool! The quality is not that bad at all. But then again if you're used to a Nikon D70 then relatively speaking it probably is.

LOL!

Actually the camera I took was my really old Olympus something, something. It was like 8 years old. The batteries were held in with duct tape. It looks as if these will be the last shots with that camera as when I got home, the housing was totally cracked. It is now amongst the toys in my kids room! Grin

Cool stuff (except for the ravaged corpse of Meigs; makes my blood boil)... I'm going back to Chi-Town this fall to do another restaurant; I hope to make it to the tower (and the museum!) next time.
