Chicago Aerial Photographs - A Gallery of aerial pictures featuring downtown Chicago including The Loop, Navy Pier, and the Magnificent Mile.

For my first visit to Chicago, I requested a window seat so that I could snap some aerial pictures with my digital camera.

Upon hearing that we were about to begin our descent into Chicago's O'hare International Airport (ORD), I turned on my Canon Powershot SD110 and snapped this series of pictures.

In the pictures above you can see Lake Michigan, the Chicago River, and Millennium Park.

Also visible are the areas that contains the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum, the Adler Planetarium & Underground Adventure, and also the Museum of Science & Industry including OmniMax.

If you're familiar with this city you can also pick out "The Loop", which is the financial and business part of downtown Chicago.
