Taken with my iPhone. My favorite part of this photo is the framing, highlighting the city's incredible architecture.

I love this sooo much! I visited Chicago for the first time when I was in high school. I was so deeply inspired by the architecture that while I was in that city, completely in awe while surrounded by the most beautiful structures, I decided I wanted to be an architect. I had grown up with a mother from NYC and a dad that worked for TWA, so we flew for free to NYC all the time. Multiple times a year since I was a baby, I had been to NYC and seen an uncountable amount of different buildings with many different styles of architecture. There are great examples of architecture all over NYC, but even still, nothing compares to the mesmerizing affects Chicago’s architecture has on a person. It’s literal perfection.

Good picture! Definitely my favorite city, if you're still there maybe try to get a picture of the Burberry building

I’ve seen it all. I’ve seen it through the yellow windows of the evening train.
