So pretty ! I only flew into the airport over the huge lake one super cold morning. Sure would like to visit. Just finished a new book about making the Blues Brothers movie in Chicago. What fun.

11. The fluidity of a Great Lakes sunset never fails to amaze me.

I just can't refer to that region as the "Midwest". It will always be the Great Lakes region to me.

[Demobrat]

12. Wow. I grew up in Chicago.

We didn’t have a view like that though.

[patphil]

13. It has a sort of surrealistic quality to it...absolutely stunning. Thank you.

[Lucky Luciano]

33. Had an amazing one 3 days ago.

The lightning was damn near continuous for an hour or more! Got some videos of that, but real life was way better!

[AKwannabe]

40. Any time I been at Ohare

There was a t storm.
Crazy from the air!!

I would love to watch them roll in from your vantage point! Drink in hand. A joint. Special effects free. Nature in all its glory!

[Lucky Luciano]

44. Doesn't do it justice at all...but I got this...unfortunately YouTube made it a short, so you have to click through.

It’s my other vantage point towards Soldier Field and the lake. There were some good spiderweb lightning streaks on Tuesday, but not in this video.

23. Shadowy Mystery Ships!

Floating through the air, patrolling the horizon. If they’re close by, we need not worry about an attack by the Boogie Man!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

24. That's not a sunset, that's the remnants of Minneapolis burning down, as reported by traitortrump.

[live love laugh]

[DaBronx]

39. Beautiful

We got a glimpse watching the Mets beat the Sox.

[druidity33]

42. I was watching the Mets game last night...

they were playing the White Sox in Chicago. The announcers for the Mets were commenting on it and they kept cutting away from the game as the sky got more dramatic. It was real pretty.

[BrightKnight]

45. I dreamed of buying a floor in an old Chicago warehouse building in the late 80s.

I turned down an offer and still regret it. I think most of those buildings have been replaced with amazing apartments like yours.

[lees1975]

46. We saw that last night as we were coming out of the restaurant where we had dinner.

People in the parking lot were taking pictures of it. It was spectacular.

[aggiesal]

47. Grew up in Chicago. The day after I graduated from HS, I boarded a flight heading west ...

On my drive to the airport, I saw the most amazing sunset that I'll never forget.
It was that amazing. It looked much like these images.

The sun, as it receded in to the horizon, the bottom of the sun disappeared. But what made this one so special was the top of the sun started to disappear as well, showing me, what looked like a 16 : 9 widescreen TV, (Widescreen didn't exist in TV's those days, just using it as a comparison), until it finally disappeared completely. I couldn't stop staring at it.

I haven't seen a sunset like that ever since.

I considered it, a gift from Chicago.
