The 80th floor of the AON Center has fantastic views. As of now, it’s the 3rd tallest building in America. (Sears Tower, Empire State Building, AON Center). The 80th floor is not open to the public, instead, it’s leased to the Mid-America Club. I was granted access to this exclusive area, because my employer had our annual awards ceremony up there. It was the perfect day for photos in March 2008. Early enough in the year were smog is minimized, yet it was one of the first days of the year to have the sun shining.
Here’s my collection of photos taken atop the AON Center:









Empire State building is in New York. 😉 Great pics though.
Alice, yes. And New York is in America.
those are GORGEOUS!!!
Angie, Thanks! I’m very pleased how they look together. I also got a bunch of 8×10 prints made, and they look SO good. I’m gonna try getting 20×30 printed of some. I’m hoping they turn out ok.
Spudz! Omg! I love the b/w ones. Remember when we were talking about putting pix in a series? Those would be a good series 🙂
Amazing photos.. are they HRD ?
Theatons, they are HDR photos (High Dynamic Range).
