Cheap Wall Art | Printable Wall Art - Navy Pier and Chicago Skyline by Drone

This picture was taken a few years ago after finally getting my first “real” drone. I was flying for a long time on mini drones around the house but this was my first full sized drone and shortly after I took a few test flights I set out to take the photo I wanted for a long time. I got to Navy Pier at 5 am to make sure as few people as possible were around. There were 2 or 3 people that were out from the night before watching me as I took off from the end of the pier. I remember watching as thousands of seagulls were flying around the area. I was hoping that none of them would interfere and send my new equipment into the ice cold waters of Lake Michigan.

I got up in the air before the sun was fully on the horizon as I didn’t want to be rushing. Once I got in position I hovered for a few minutes to wait for the sun. As it came up I was so excited to see the shot just as I had envisioned it. And voila here it is.

Cheap Wall Art | Printable Wall Art - Summer Sunset Over Chicago

From my perch on the roof of buildings two stories high, I could see for miles across Lake Michigan. Sunbeams were already clambering over downtown skyscrapers and glinted off windows as if they had been recently polished. Night fell quickly in Chicago's late springtime—as it does all too often these days —and one by one lights flickered on until this cityscape was glowing like a jewel box set against an indigo sky with just enough clouds to catch starlight when night fully settled upon us.

If you can drag yourself out of bed early enough to witness it.

Cheap Wall Art | Printable Wall Art - The Rookery Chicago

The Rookery staircase in Chicago was built in the 19th century during an age of opulence when people wanted to show off their wealth. The building itself is a mixture of many architectural styles, but it's most noted for its extravagant ironwork and how ornate each floor becomes as you go up higher.

The Rookery stair case located at one hundred west Monroe street that leads into the lobby with artwork on display (Kaminski). It has been said by historians about this place "It's almost like walking through your grandfather’s house" which makes sense because they were designed using classic Victorian ornamentation techniques.
