Untitled at Sears Tower, originally uploaded by Dennis Jenders.
Kristen and I were visiting Chicago today for some birthday celebrations. As part of our excursion downtown we were able to visit the Skydeck at Willis Tower, formally known as Sears Tower. Standing at 1,451 feet, Willis Tower was the world’s tallest building from 1974 – 1998.
Walking down Franklin Street I caught the sun peeking through the buildings. I was at just the right spot at just the right time to capture this effect. I especially like how crisp the foreground is.
I have never been to the top of Sears Tower, and it’s something I’ve always wanted to do ever since I saw Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Today I took the opportunity to climb up on the railing and lean forward against the glass.
“Anything is peaceful from one thousand, three hundred and fifty-three feet.”
