From the Bird's Eye


Every one of us would want to fly high a bird, some say to feel lighter, or to feel the air brushing our hair through, or to view this enormous world in the bird’s eye view. We can have one of those, from one of the tallest buildings in this world, i.e., the John Hancock’s Observatory, Chicago. It was the tallest building in the world when it was built in the year 1968. Now it stands as the fourth largest in Chicago and Fifth largest inthe world. Standing up tall at a height of 1,127 foot with a tubular architecture gives it a symmetrical appearance and strength at times of strong winds. It has 100 floors in it and the observatory is at the 94th floor.

This turned over the entire scene; it was the dark blanket covering up the city. Soon it resembled a model that was in the museum. The monster trucks shrunk into the tiny ones, the limos appearing like that of a dachshund. The view will make you sit and observe the dwarfs down. It would be you with your digital tour guide, silence all through when you peep beyond. The only place you could experience the highness in air is the skywalk, a part of observatory which has the fresh air (The rest is completely glass) through an iron mesh. It is said your face would freeze within seconds during winter in this skywalk due to the chillness of air at such a high altitude.




Here is the day and night view along with sea shore. Everyone should visit this in life.
