Floating Above the Metropolis

One of my favorite things to do when in Hong Kong is to go to the top of tall buildings and look down. A lot of the buildings have rooftop terraces where you can enjoy a drink while floating on top of the city. During my last trip, I packed my high powered zoom lens and focused in on a few interesting scenes. It's nice that many of the rooftops are open air with no glass walls... provides a much clearer view (just have to be careful after having a few drinks).

"Rooftopping" in Chicago. A nice view from C-View Bar at the top of Affinia Hotel... looking down at the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Superior. This was basically the heart of the Black Friday madness in downtown Chicago.

I recently went on a little trip to Chicago to celebrate the christening of my brother's new baby. It was a fun little trip... and I enjoyed seeing family and friends. I happened to be on the top of some relatively tall buildings in downtown and took some pictures looking down. I'm referring to it as the "Rooftop Gallery". Hope you enjoy!
