Way Above the West Loop...and Beyond

Today we had access to our Skybridge condo to do some measurements (August 1 takeover...5 months and counting!). It's a dull day otherwise, but so nice to have a little time in our someday home. Our current condo (til March 16) is just off the image in the lower right corner. Thanks for all your nice comments on "Mom & Kid" color shot! A few days left of B&W.
Much to my surprise this marvellous view looks terrific in b&w. The tones are quite something to feast the eyes upon.

Wow, that's quite a view. I just can't imagine living up so high in a huge city like that.

Nice use of the street as a leading line into the abyss of the city.
February 26th, 2017  
WOW! - fantastic!
February 26th, 2017  
Really great...would make a good canvas print in some hip urban bar somewhere.
February 26th, 2017  
Great city shot.

This view will be excellent at night, with all the light-lit lines. :). This is such a great view. August 1 seems ridiculously far away, so I am bummed for you both, with the gap between now and move-in time.
February 26th, 2017  
Wow - what an amazing view. Hope the time passes quickly enough.
February 26th, 2017  
Quite a view of the city. I bet you can't wait to move in.
February 26th, 2017  
So glad your someday home date is gradually arriving! Beautiful capture of the city.

Now that's a very busy city!
February 26th, 2017  
It's as if you are flying high over the city as all the buildings seem lower level in this direction? So pleased you got some time in your condo but how hard this time has been for you! Just think I will be visiting Chicago and then you will be off to France and Iceland ( maybe not in that order) and suddenly August will be here! Then your feet won't touch the ground with all your renovations! The end is in sight Taffy! Great b&w image! Fav !

What a great scene from so high up :)
February 26th, 2017  
Great b&w cityscape - you're really up in the clouds when you move in aren't you!
February 26th, 2017  
Cool view, a nice place to live.

What a fantastic view - gives a real sense of the immensity of the city!
February 26th, 2017  
Stunning view from up there. I would suffer vertigo if I were up there with you. Probably I wouldn't have been able to hold the camera with the shake in my hands. Excellent shot.
February 26th, 2017  
Brilliant...looks like you will have no end of photographic opportunities here...I hope that road gets busy at night...long exposure required :)
February 26th, 2017  
Of course I don't want the road to be too busy and annoying lol
February 26th, 2017  
Lovely cityscape :)
February 26th, 2017  
Wow this is absolutely incredible!
February 26th, 2017  
Wow! You'll have the world at your feet
February 26th, 2017  
Amazing image... some awesome photo opps to be had from a perspective like that!
February 26th, 2017  
You are going to get to live with that view? You lucky thing! Bet you can't wait. So much fun to watch the world below
February 26th, 2017  
Wonderful image, fabulous in b&w which enhances all the lines and buildings - fav
February 26th, 2017  
Awesome picture and perspective.
February 26th, 2017  
Awesome capture.
February 26th, 2017  
Great b&w cityscape that shows the building density
February 26th, 2017  
Fabulous view you will have.
February 26th, 2017  
What a great view!
February 26th, 2017  
Stunning view. Hope the time passes quickly.

@kazlamont When we lived there during the fire renovation, the city 'noise' is there but not bad as high up as we are (33rd floor). It's more like the rhythms of the day - like the city is a character. It's quite fun to see empty roads, morning rush hour through night quiet, trains and the elevated/subway, night sky, etc. I really can't wait til we are moved in and settled! We have 270 degrees of views, so this will be worth the wait!

February 26th, 2017  
The city seems to go forever. You have such great views.
February 27th, 2017  
wow, what a great shot ...excellent!
February 27th, 2017  
Looking west, I am somewhere out there on the distant edge of the city!
February 27th, 2017  
The black and white makes it look so much more gritty. It'll be worth the wait I'm sure- hang in there!
February 27th, 2017  
Love the views from this condo. Can't wait till you move in.
February 27th, 2017  
Such a density of buildings. Fascinating. The views from your place must make you feel very small.
February 27th, 2017  
What a fantastic view you will soon enjoy! Wonderful shot! fav!
