I flew into O'Hare on Thursday.....

[Itchinjim]

we banked over the lake and had some great views of the city. OK shot for one out of a dirty airplane window I think.

3. Not to be stupid

But I thought Chicago was on a Great Lake.

:shrug:

Great photo!

[Itchinjim]

4. In Chicagoland, Lake Michigan is "The Lake"

Thanks for the compliment.

5. I don't see it n/t

6. Isn't that the lake on the left?

[Itchinjim]

7. It's on the left side, greenish, without any buildings

there are ice flows that you can make out further out on the lake.

[sandnsea]

8. Oooh, those are ice flows

I thought it was land. I thought, my goodness, what a small "great lake". :blush:

[Itchinjim]

9. You're looking at a extremely small portion of Lake Michigan,

Trust me, it's much, much larger than this shot shows.

10. I figured

Which is why I was confused that it looked like only the green part was water.

11. Better than OK

That's the best aerial vantage for Chicago, except maybe from due east over the water.

Thanks for sharing this. I love that city and never tire of looking at photos of it.

[Itchinjim]

12. How 'bout one from due near northeast?

I know what you mean too, I love Chicago and will never tire of it either.

13. Very nice shot!

I've already flown into Chicago on a clear sunny day. Could see sailboats out of the lake. Just beautiful!

14. Very nice cityscape

I lived in Chicago from '78-'81. I haven't been back since, but I need to.

15. My home town!
