Midwestern Saharan Sunset
Sometimes you plan and plan for the perfect shot. Sometimes the shot just lands on you. This is three of the latter. I believe the Saharan Sands drifted into the Midwest. As we sat down for the evening and looked out our window, the skies lit up in a red tone we had never seen.

Wildlife Prairie Park
Just a short 10 miles outside of Peoria, there is a 480 acre park reserve with native Illinois animals established by William Rutherford called Wildlife Prairie Park. Animals including Bison, Elk, Cougars, Black Bears, Fox, Bobcats, Crane, Bald Eagles, Otters, Owls, domesticated farm animals, and much more can be found in natural habitat. After cleaning up the yard today, Deb & I visited the park. Enjoy the shots.

This tour takes off from the Ogden docks. Who knew there was water on Ogden? Yeah it's a man made finger of the river.
Architectural Boat Tour #2
These buildings are more impressive from the water.
Wrigley Building
Marina Towers
Iconic Chicago: Marina Towers
Merchandise Mart
This place looks even more massive from the river
River Bridge
This old beast actually works. Hard to imagine, eh.
Ah. What an amazing city
Incredible
Long story short, this building was built to accommodate the water on one side and the subway on the other. Impressive, eh?

Buckingham Fountain
Perhaps the most iconic locations in Chicago, I've always wanted to catch a bird's eye view. With my drone, I was able to catch one.
Monroe Harbor 1
As I walked up to Navy Pier from Buckingham Fountain, I noticed this pier in Monroe Harbor where I could take a western view from what looked like I was in the water.

Another angle from looking into the city from the water.
North Shore Sunrise
As I rode my Divvy bike along the shoreline, the sunrise was spectacular. This is Belmont Harbor.
Diversy View #1
The winds were wicked Saturday morning. This shot from the mouth of Diversy Harbor looking into the city gives you an idea of how rough the seas were.

Diversey Harbor
One more bird's eye view with my drone looking into the city from Diversey Harbor. The winds weren't quite as strong and flying the drone in that harbor was a real treat.
