Chicago on a clear winter day.
Want to get a great view of Chicago? Walk up the Adler Planetarium pier at sunset and enjoy the show. Don't leave straight after the sun sets, let the lights come out and take it all in!
If you want some of the best views of the city take a walk out to the planitarium. It is directly across the bay from sears tower and the hancock building. I ventured down onto the crumbling ice sheet that went out about 30 feet into the bay.
