Expanded View of Chicago and Southwest Lake Michigan Lakefront

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 Ogden Dunes, Indiana past Chicago to Milwaukee, Wisconsin and west from the Fox River. The Chicago River and its bridges are visible here along with the downtown skyscrapers and their shadows including the Sears Tower. Some of the regional landmarks visible in this series include Montrose Harbor, Navy Pier, North Avenue Beach, Meigs Field and Soldier Field as well as local expressways and major arteries entering/exiting the city. This image captures all of the subtle bends and curves of the Chicago lakefront distinctive to those who live there.

The area covered by this image is approximately 81x119 miles.

This is a very large image that is only printed on 35x47" paper and is limited to an edition size of 50 prints. The physical scale at this size is approximately 2.8 miles per inch of the print, so fine detail is visible in addition to broad area coverage.
