| Gotta turn your gaze upward. |
 |
| Who notices all this detail way up in the air? |
 |
| Most folks are busy looking down at their phones. |
 |
| They are unaware of the hieroglyphs above them. Or the Egyptian period of Chicago. |
 |
| Pretty fair row of carvings, don't you think? |
 |
| This building aspires to prevent alien landings atop it. |
 |
| Nicely detailed. Where's the Pope? |
 |
| Way station for the time machine of Mr. Wells. |
 |
| What would you need to be paid to service the top of these antennae... even if they were on the ground instead of atop the 110 story Willis Tower? It used to be called the Sears Tower. Roebuck is laughing. |
 |
| Did twins design this one? |
 |
| Perhaps designed by other family members. |
 |
| Lovely blue highlighting. Persian influence? |
 |
| From this one, the Batman surveys the city below. |
 |
| Steroidal hydroponics have produced this giant kumquat. I sincerely hope it does not roll off as it continues to grow. |
 |
| No fruits needed for Mr. Trump's building. |
 |
| The clocks on the Wrigley building let you know when it's time to chew Spearmint gum. |
 |
| Just a super structure. |
 |
| Crazy wavey floors. |
 |
| Art deco lamps ready to illuminate the entry to this art deco building. |
 |
| You'll miss all of this, unless you look up! |
But here is the real reason to care about what's up in wintery Chicago.
Nice! Next you can do one on downtown Rochester.
ReplyDeleteWon't have to look quite as far up.
DeleteI think you may be correct in one of you assumptions, the architects must have believed in Alien lifeforms and their ability to transport themselves about...wanted to make sure they could see the art as they buzzed about! (All that stuff about the pyramids in Egypt, Central and South America always raised a 'Spock-ian' eyebrow for me.) 'They' always used to say you could tell the tourists in NYC, they were always looking up! With good eyesight, and/or a great camera, you have proven the tourists (In Chicago or NYC) have something worth looking at...something too many locals probably miss or do not know about.
ReplyDeleteThe Chrysler Building would be right at home in Chicago.
