Alot of these are from my office and apartment building and a few others from parking garages.  I hope to get a tripod soon to make my life easier.  I'm looking forward to getting more night shots this summer.

Start off with the hood

Looking toward the gold coast


North up Rush street


Connors Park.  I can only imagine how different this shot would have been in the 90's


Now for a few views from my apartment building.




A closer look at the Drake


I call this the Wave Building


City




Lanterns of 900 North, one of the city's largest mixed use buildings featuring a Bloomingdales, 7 story shopping mall, offices, condos, and a hotel.  Behind it you see John Hancock Tower


This same view in 2004 and again in 2012 would be completely unrecognizable.  The towers to the left are all new.  Additionally, this area gained some new retail structures, a new 6 story department store, and soon a brand new high school


Skyscrapers all around


Looking down Wabash.  It's a nice direct commute by bike to my office


View from the office.  






The new riverfront plaza


Another shot of the Av






I have a ton more, but I forgot there is an image cap.  It's been awhile since I've been around the way.

Awesome views from both your apartment and office!  I too had some killer views when I lived and worked downtown and truly miss them each day when I wake up, work, and relax in the evenings.  I'm glad to see the city isn't stopping with growth just because I left.

Very nice shots.  Chicago has some amazing architecture and you captured it very well in these.
