Chicago has many places that are very interesting to photograph and view, especially in 3D! Let's start here with its Skyline which in the photo displayed below is viewed from the southbound lanes of Chicago's north side Outer Drive.
This is a unique expressway in Chicago that runs for about 25 miles from the far north side of the city, past downtown and well into the south side, all along its beautiful Lake Michigan waterfront. This 4-5 lane commuter road makes driving into downtown from either the north or south sides of the city a snap at most times. Its traffic moves along pretty well even during Chicago's rush hours, unless there's been an accident. This is because there is population on only one side of the road so it doesn't get the inundation of traffic that is generated when there is population on both sides of an expressway.
Below is a closer view of the area in the photo above. The lower front building in this shot is Chicago's famous Drake Hotel and the second building is the Palmolive building which once housed the Playboy Magazine Offices and the first Playboy Club. Back in the 60's these were 2 of Chicago's taller buildings. Now they're dwarfed by the 100 story John Hancock building and others on Michigan Avenue that have since been constructed. This is a view down north Michigan avenue at the beginning of its "Magnificent Mile", just as you exit the southbound Outer Drive.
Further along this "Magnificent Mile", shown in the image below, is the Westin Hotel located just north of the 100 story, black John Hancock building which is next to the world famous, multistory shopping center - the exclusive Water Tower Place.
This part of Michigan Avenue is called the "Magnificent Mile" because of all of its top quality hotels and restaurants and its ultra exclusive shops which are strung for about a mile down it until you get to the Chicago River.
Unfortunately my finger partially covered the left lens in this photo (which can easily happen with this camera). This defect shows up as the photo twitches. It's the occasional craziness that forms up in the tree in the photo's left corner.
Some of the shops on this street are beautifully architected so they stand out in a wonderful way like does this one!
Northern Michigan Ave. in Chicago is a very classy and utterly reeks of big money so many locals come down here just to rub elbows with some of the rich and famous, beautiful people who are shopping on it every day!
This is all that we have now to give you this example blog page of 3D photos in only the Piku - Piku format. We are currently creating a much more detailed 3D website for Chicago called
3D-Chicago.com where we use Flickr.com's and start3d.com's slide-show presentations to more concisely display many, many, many photos of this area.
Please go to the next post for an example of this same blog about Michigan Avenue but with photos in only the anaglyph format. It requires red - cyan colored glasses for viewing in 3D which you may obtain free from
3D-Chicago.com.
