Chicago go bye bye. #ilwx

Woke up on the couch at 5:15am to this swoop of color over the Chicago skyline. Related, I had used my dog's bed as a pillow.

Did any real people in Chicago get Paul McCartney presale tickets at a decent price? By the time it was my turn there was one single ticket for $350 that disappeared quickly. The next cheapest I saw was $600+. Not looking good for me ever seeing him live.😢

Taking in @NASCARChicago The Loop 110 from 56 floors up.

Quite the backdrop for @SJCantius on the 4th.

The West Side of Chicago's neighborhood fireworks as seen from my 5th story rooftop with a 600mm zoom.

Love to see the @GoodyearBlimp flying over Chicago!

Oh my, Chicago! Watching back a timelapse of cumulonimbus clouds is always so dang cool.

Stopped by Chicago's Graceland Cemetery today in hopes of seeing the coyote pups, but just this lone one popped out of the den to brave the heat.

I'm the photographer. 😎

Sounds of Chicago summer... the dirt bike / scooter crew have taken over the vacant massive distribution center at Division & Elston.

Cumulonimbus goodness flowing over Chicago today.

Can’t say I’ve ever seen 3 step leaders ignited before at the same time.

Aaaaand relax ☺️ We're loving this mid-week inspo from @cshimala with #Insta360X3. Who's giving it a go?

Triple lightning strike hitting the Hancock, Trump and Sears around 12:16am this morning in Chicago. According to my records this is my sixth time capturing a triple strike on these buildings. The first dates back to June 23rd, 2010 from my home patio. #ilwx #weather

Triple lightning strike on Chicago at 12:06am on Wednesday!!! The best part of this photo is my old iPhone in the bottom right corner I had recording video. The bolts are visible and so is a "iPhone Storage Full" pop up... oops #ilwx

Late Tuesday into Wednesday lightning over Chicago #ilwx

Wednesdays 99.3% full moon revealing itself from behind the Sears Tower and some thin clouds.
