After visiting the aquarium, my friend and I took the trolley back into the city and got off at the John Hancock tower. After getting a bite to eat, we rode to the top to have a view of the city from on high. The Navy Pier, which is a very popular place, is clearly visible from the tower. To the left is a water treatment plant.
Moving on around, looking to the south, one can see the many tall structures that make up the skyline of Chicago. Coming from Florida where we don't have many towers or high buildings, I'm always in awe of the height of these buildings.
Before we left I decided to lie down on one of the beams so that you can get some perspective of the view from the top. One could also have his picture made appearing to be washing windows. I decided not to work that day, but there were lots of folks lined up to have their pictures made there.

What fabulous photos, Beverly! Great post.
I told my son we need to go to Chicago sometime in the near future.
I don't know if I would have lain on that beam or not! You're brave. I remember going to the top of the Twin Towers in NYC back in 1975 or 76. Standing in the indoor-observation room, you could see and feel the building swaying in the wind. It was eerie. Is the Hancock Tower like that too?
Fabulous pictures of a fabulous city. Glad you could go to the top. Did you eat at the Cheesecake Factory?
Great photos you've shared here Bev. Makes us more determined than ever to plan a trip there someday :)
My goodness.. what a skyline. Being a small city gal, I too am struck by the height of the buildings.
