Splendid angle.  Brings back a flood of childhood memories of Chicagoland in winter.  It was a treat for our father to take us to the observatory on the top of the 41-story Prudential Tower at the left; it was the tallest building in Chicago when finished in 1955...

Thank you. Interestingly the 1955 Prudential was the first tall building constructed in Chicago since the 1930's and wasn't challenged in height until the Chicago Civic Center in 1965. 

In my photo, after the Prudential there were no other buildings in that line on East Randolph until the Standard Oil building (tallest in photo) in 1973.

I can only imagine how cold it must be there right now next to Lake Michigan.  Not a problem for you Chicagoans though!
