Due to flights I arrived early today in Chicago so I visited a store located in downtown Chicago for another DM.
As I was walking towards the store the mist cleared for a moment and I realized I was directly under the Sears Tower!
A few moments later and the tower was covered by mist again.
Chicago became home to the world's tallest building in 1973 when the Sears Tower was topped off. The Sears Tower remained the tallest building in the world until February 13, 1996. The Sears Tower continues to be the tallest building in North America.
Sitting on two city blocks and rising one quarter mile (1,454 feet) above the ground, the Tower's 110 stories comprise some 4.5 million gross square feet of office and commercial space. It was designed by the architectural firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, and was constructed in a little less than two and half years.

Sounds like something in a science fiction movie. Neat photograph, anyway.
