I've always been intrigued by city skylines, and I'm lucky to have a great view of Chicago's from my balcony.

Today for the first time in probably 3-4 months I stepped outside (it's a clear, crisp day today) and took a glance at the skyline. There are two new large additions that weren't there the last time I checked, I believe they are the Chicago Spire and the Trump Tower.

TT has been under construction for a while, but I believe the cranes have jumped up a few stories over the winter.

The Chicago Spire appears to be about half-way there; it's going to be taller than the Sears Tower and right now it's about half-way up.

It's still fascinating how these things can get so tall!
