Detroit to Chicago
Selected pictures from the trip from Detroit to Chicago.
Detroit, MI, as seen from Windsor, ON
Hanging out on a hot muggy day in Indianapolis, IN. That fountain just looked too good to let be. So I cooled myself off just a little!
So Naomi decides she hadn't had enough excercise, and gets this crazy idea to rent a paddle boat and paddle down the canal that runs through the centre of Indianapolis... Well, apparently I was the one who hadn't got enough excercise, since I came down with a little bout of heat exhaustion by the time the boat ride was done! Haha good times though...
The RCA Dome, home of the Indianapolis Colts
The WWI and WWII War Memorial. Indianapolis features three blocks dedicated to the memory of American soldiers lost in all of the modern wars. It was quite a sobering tour.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the worlds largest spectator stadium. The day before we were there saw the conclusion of the U.S. Grand Prix in the Formula 1 Circuit.
My first time visiting the wonderful state of Illinois
Baling hay, the Amish way. (Near Arthur, IL)
An Illinoisian sunset, as seen just south of Decataur, IL
Chicago, IL, as seen from the highway, about 10 miles out.
Ant's Eye View of the Sears Tower, the tallest office building in North America
North Chicago, as seen from the Sears Tower
The John Hancock Center, as seen from the Sears Tower
Riding the subway. We set up our tripod and took the picture right in the middle of the busy subway. That was fun!
If a girl gives you a flower, the appropriate response is "mmmm food!"
Naomi, talking on her phone, at Moody Bible Institute. I like this shot because it is candid and is a very good picture of my sister.
The north end of Chicago from Navy Pier. The cityscape is so spread out that it is hard to get a good shot of the whole city, unless you go out into Lake Michigan.
The south end of Chicago, as seen from the John Hancock Center, with the Sears Tower to your far right.
Night shot of Chicago, from the Hancock Center
Towards the west, from the Hancock Center.
We saw the July 4 Fireworks from the top of the Hancock Center. Once I figure out how to upload video, I'll show you a video. I must admit to being disappointed with the view. They looked small from the top of the tower, and the noise of the explosions and the people around all contribute to the viewing experience.
