On my way to Brazil – I was delayed in Chicago for a day and I was determined to make the most of it while I was there. From my hotel, I walked to the nearest train station and rode it all the way into Downtown Chicago. Once I got there, I came across the Downtown Chicago Tour Bus Co. – And for $40, they drove me all over the city, dropping me off at all the highlights, all the while telling me all I ever wanted to know about the city of Chicago.
And would you believe – I took all of these photos with a simple Canon Elph 320.
I look forward to the day when I can go back there and take photos with my nice Canon 6D!! But, for my unexpected day in Chicago – and my first ever in Chicago – I hope you enjoy the photos I was able to get!
The metro station.
The financial district.
A piece of art… a bunch of canoes attached at the end.
A water feature… with digital screen!!
The Sky Deck!

Negative Exposure Comp with Flash so you can see me and the city. 🙂
A view of the city from the 173rd floor of the Sears Tower.
I’m secretly freaking out inside! A glass floor is a little unnerving.
