Artist's Comments

Now we're finally on the top of the of the Sears Tower which once was the tallest building in the world. FYI, it was built in cube like side sections to keep from falling over. That body of water you see is lake Michigan of the Great Lakes. I don't think all the lakes in Henderson County could fill up that hole! And we have the most lakes of any county in the state!....I think.

Wow girl - this is one awesome picture! I love the vividness of the colours, the composition is stunning to boot! Everything from the curve of the sea to the tall straight skyscrapers. Where were you stood to get this capture?!

Thanks for the very detailed comment! I don't get many of those.
I was up on top of the north side of the Sears Tower in Chicago. Actually I think it might have been North East side. I just wish I could've gone to the very top where there wasn't a glass in front of me.

Yeah it was through glass. You should've seen the original picture before I gave it a little saturation and brightened it up a bit. It was a very cloudy and rainy day so the originals from up there were a bit gray and dull.

You have a great talent for communication and the way you word your sentences! I always love to hear what you have to say about a picture just because of the way your comments are worded!

lol I think the only time I make up words is when I'm completely shocked to the point beyond all recognizable words which doesn't happen too often. I think the last one was back in 2007 when I wrecked my car. Looking at it I think I said something like AIAH!

If you plan on writing a book, a thesaurus is a wonderful tool if you want to use another word for something. I use one all the time when I'm writing essays and research papers.
