Editor's note: I am continuing my photo series from my recent trip to Chicago. The gallery of the images I have posted so far is here.


I captured this shot of the Sears (Willis) Tower flanked by two other buildings during my architecture tour on the Chicago River.

Do you see those four 'boxes' on the left side of the Sears Tower, near the top floor? In 2009, Sears Tower owners began a major renovation of the Skydeck, to include the installation of retractable glass balconies, extending approximately four feet from the 103rd floor. The all-glass boxes allow visitors to look through the floor to the street 1,353 feet (412 m) below. I didn't partake in this experience (choosing to go to the John Hancock Center instead).
