it is my sweet home and i lov it, the city is a really great place and just looking down on it kinda put this wow sence in your mind...its hard to imagen how such a great big city builds from small to monster, but its very cool....
anyway i hope the res. shows up with enough clarity....its a pretty big file as a tif. and well i'm not sure this will be such a great looking image at a small size...but its all i've got.
thanks for all the views votes and comments. your commenters r really spical ppl.

Just checking some profiles before Chicago GTG on May 6th. This one is great. I am hoping that we get the same view and I learn from you. From where this was taken? Did you use tripod?
Beautiful night shot of "my town" (well, I never lived there, but I was born there at Michael Reese--I grew up in Gary, Indiana). I am mixed about the tilt, I really like the dynamic it adds, but it draws attention to itself too, perhaps because it's not tilted enough to say: this is purposefully tilted (though I am sure it was).
Overall, a great night city scene: hope you have a big version of this hanging on your wall!
Wow, love the city light picutres. Thats a big town. Sometimes when there is this much in a picture, its hard to really get the "punch" from it. Mabe crop in from the top and left more.
Ahhh, I miss Chicago :-) Really nice pic. It definitely shows the hustle and bustle of the city, as well as the magnitude of your corner of the world :-) Well done! The horizon seems slightly tilted to the right, but overall I really like this shot.
I bet you get a few people say the horizon aint straight.. personally it dont bother me at all I like the shot and believe it adds curvature .. the earth is round after all. -6-
