7200' stunning! I'd speculate it takes long-term conditioning to handle sustained exertion at that elevation?

Not so much for me - Maybe around 9,000' and higher is when I start feeling it.  Then you just need to ensure you're basically hyperventilating when you feel like you can't catch your breath.  It's worth it though, as the scenery from that high is, excuse the pun, breathtaking.

VERY nice.

Sorry Chris. The "orange sky of doom" is being diminished by inset street lamps in Seattle :)

Spectacular event! In 2007 from the Goodtime III I saw one forming, but I don't think it ever touched down:

Thanks! There is nothing like being 500 to 1000 feet above Lake Superior!

I can see on this page I'm not the only one experiencing weird weather. 

 

Here's a shot today from the observation deck of Kemper Tower.  This public floor was last open in the 1970's and was reopened this weekend.  What a lost treasure, the views are incredible!

Great shot, Andre.  I can count at least 20 buildings in your picture that wouldn't have been there in the 1970s!

Chicago really does have a world class downtown and skyline. There are days I think it's prettier than New York. The nice thing too is that it's cheaper to live there.

I don't think (downtown and adjacent area's) is that much cheaper than Manhattan.  I do think Chicago is perttier, than NYC as a whole.

It's pretty cheap.  Rent on the Magnificent Mile is on average $2.25/sqft/month.  Plentiful supply of downtown 1 BR condos for under $1 Million.  That's the allure of Chicago.  Big City Experience at a bargain price.

Nice

thanks for the comments, although it's hard to take a really bad picture of the Flatiron Building when the sun is facing the west facade. Here's another one:

The Giles County, Virginia courthouse at Main Street and Wenonah Avenue in Pearisburg was completed in 1836. It was placed on the Virginia Landmark Registry on July 20, 1982 and on the National Register of Historic Places on September 9, 1982. The structure was renovated in 2005.

Wow, Sherman! That courthouse looks like something I'd expect to see in Williamsburg or in the vicinity of Independence Hall, and the photo showcases it perfectly!

Ciao - Venice for a few days.  The mickey mouse park of Italy.  Cool buildings, mediocre experience.

...not at fault. Driver ran their traffic signal and I had zero visibility of his vehicle due to a barrier wall and bridge piers. But it still sucks that repair work could take a month for a snapped axle and body work.

yeah, I didn't watch too much of it, but apparently the parade has become more popular in recent years because of Iraq, etc. There was a time when hardly anyone showed up for it. I just took a few pictures toward the end of it at 52nd St.

^ very nice.

 

it reminds me of an old wedding picture i have somewhere from toledo that has the same style and background, except with corn stalks of course instead of reeds.  i just think that kind of stalky greenery makes for a charming portrait backgound.
