Gosh, hey, hasn’t it been a minute since the last aerial photo? Remember when I published two nearly identical photos, but taken six months apart, from almost exactly the same spot in three-dimensional space over Chicago’s North Side? This and tomorrow’s pictures aren’t that precise, but cover much of the same territory; thanks to Winter, those pesky clouds obscure Soldier Field and part of the lakefront and harbor. But the Shedd Aquarium in the center, and the Field Museum to its right, are nice and clear, along with the former Meigs Field, an airstrip used by hospitals until the then-mayor illegally converted it to a private concert venue and a little park land, in the upper left corner. I really like that stretch of the frozen lake front with the shadow of a nearby residential tower bringing an extra bit of texture.
