A series of shots taken in two of the most important American cities, New York and Chicago, to portray their skylines together with some of their main features: in the 1st picture Lake Michigan seems to still Chicago's center at sunset; in the 2nd one Chicago's downtown taken from a skyscraper opens towards an endless sea of lower buildings; in the 3rd photo a ferris wheel aims at Chicago's skyline like a giant firearm; in the 4th one Chicago's skyline stays behind its symbol, the Cloud's Gate sculpture; in the 5th shot a star-trail adorns Chicago's skyline from Lincoln Park; in the last one Manhattan's skyline stands out behind Roosvelt Bridge.
