CHICAGO

Chicago is one of the most visually stunning cities in the world. It has without question the most beautiful skyline in the world. Lake Michigan and the Chicago River reflect the engineering marvels and Grant Park is like a welcoming lawn before the towers. The images in this book are very beautifully realized the the production of the book is of quality, but I have to say the price is a bit steep, there are so many arial book on Chicago that are as good or better and much less expensive.
