Chicago grew up on the site of Old Fort Dearborn, once America's westernmost outpost. Today, it is a vibrant, progressive city with one of the most recognizable skylines in the world. Soar over the Windy City like you never have beforefrom high up above its famous skyscrapersin Chicago From the Air: Then and Now. Explore Chicago's beloved landmarks from an exciting aerial vantage point! This new from-the-air angle sheds fresh light on its development from the 1800s to today. Chicago boasts some of the world's tallest buildings, including the Sears Tower and the John Hancock Building; soon it will be home to the new Trump Tower, which at 1,131 feet will command an enormous chunk of the skyline at Navy Pier. No aerial tour would be complete without Wrigley Field, the last great American ballpark.” Dedicated to tradition, the ballpark hasn't changed much over the years, but the surrounding Wrigleyville” has certainly grown.
Owing Already a copy of "Above Chicago" By R.Cameron, a ground-breaking master in this kind of aerial photographic himself, I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this new release by O'Gorman, which from the title seemed to follow in Cameron's wake with, maybe, a little more attention to the comparison between old and new.The moment I started browsing through its pages though I immediately realized this was no second best, especially because the "now" images are really recent ones (Cameron's title dates back to 1987). All areas of the city are caught on film, or more likely on pixel,and Chicago has never looked better! The overall quality of the images is very high, both technically and in terms of content, the text captions are concise, accurate and very informative, which is also a plus for this book.Glad I pushed the button "purchase", I'm already looking forward to the release of the upcoming title in the series "Los Angeles from the air".
