Tall buildings, friendly people, a vibrant downtown,
extensive mass
transit, and a strategic location combine to make Chicago a world-class
city.
This image follows Lake Michigan as it curves around from Gary, Indiana
past
Chicago to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and west across the Fox River. The
Chicago
river and its bridges are visible here along with the downtown
skyscrapers and
their shadows including the Sears Tower. Of course, Chicago is also
home of the
Cubs and historic Wrigley Field can be seen just west of Lake Michigan.
Other
notable Chicago landmarks that are visible in this image include
Montrose
Harbor, Lincoln Park Conservatory, Lincoln Park Zoo, Oak Street Beach,
Navy
Pier, Petrillo Bandshell, Buckingham Fountain, Field Museum of Natural
History,
Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, and Soldier Field. The 1.2 mile
diameter
circle formed by the Tevatron at
Fermi National
Accelerator Laboratory stands
out near the Fox River. The main injector and other components
of Fermilab are also visible. This lab performs experiments to answer
fundamental questions about the nature of our universe.
