Some weather can add to the picture, although getting out of ORD wasn't fun.

Here is a view of Chicago in rain/mist at sunset.

Hmm.. I know that skyline from somewhere....


Although I see why it can be a pain getting out of ORD sometimes...

What do I love about flying? Our pilot navigated in extreme turbulence around all of these thunderheads to reach that small sliver of sunlight that you can see in the distance. It was, quite possibly, my most exciting flight.



And then, waving goodbye to all your money is so much easier when you get a view like this.
