Location Taken: Chicago, Illinois
Time Taken: January 2008
Ah, the beautiful sight of the Chicago skyline bathed in a marvelous winter sunset.
I may have had many things I didn’t care for about living in Chicago, but the view out my apartment window was never one of them. I could look south to the heart of the city just fine, and wonder how many people’s lives this one glance touched. Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands? Maybe all the way up to a million people in this one glimpse into society?
That, of course, counts places people live, work, shop, and visit. But well, this view does look across the most densely populated stretch of the city, all the way to the massive skyscrapers downtown. And Chicago has 2.7 million residents, and far far more visitors and commuters. So getting up to a million isn’t that far of a stretch, if you think about it…
