The Sun Sets on Chicago O’Hare Airport

by John P.

While traveling to Chicago a while back I was in the airport with a buddy when he spotted the evening sun absolutely reflecting off the downtown skyscrapers. I barely had time to grab the camera and get a couple of shots before it went away. It was a very fleeting, yet powerfully captivating image.

You really need to click through to view a larger version of this in order to see the reflection. Have you ever seen anything like it?

It does look rather eerie with the well lit skyscrapers contrasting starkly with the rather austere airport and planes in the foreground. Good shot, yet again emphasizing the need to have your camera with you at all times in order to catch the golden moments!

Nice image. I think seeing it from naked eye is totally a different feeling :P

Nice picture – But last time I had a connecting flight at O’Hare Airport I had a very bad experience.
