USA Trip

After the summer hiatus I will have a bit more time to update the blog, so apologizes for the lack of content and updates. To be honest I always saw summer the right time to spent as much as you can outdoors so didn't have or wanted time for computers.

Fires in Yosemite National Park August 09

I had a fantastic time this summer on the US.I stayed a some days in Chicago and also I drove some of the west coast, Big Sur and also to Yosemite National Park. One of the things I found more shocking were the fires. They were huge, in San Gabriel Mountains I think and also in Yosemite. Mount Wilson was on flames too.

On the way to Mojave desert

Fires near the Highway

I was told the fires can burn for weeks. The view at night was very sad, hundreds of years gone within minutes
.
I'll report back soon when I get a bit of time off, and also to review an exciting flight with a glider over the Mojave desert!

Chicago U.S. Downtown- The Night

Chicago Skyline

Here are some more photos from Chicago impressive skyline in city center at night I took from the Sears Tower, 442 mts and over 100 floors [Fastest elevators I ve ever seen!].
I found it much more impressive than other places like The Eiffel Tower for example.

Chessboard

At the bottom in the darkness we can find Lake Michigan

Look at the streets down there!

We were even above other high skycrapers

Not recommendable if you are scared of heights

Deer in Illinois park

But of course Illinois State its not only about concrete as it has beautiful parks and a pretty wide range of wildlife. More photos to come on the next days!

Sears Tower on a blue skies day

I took some more photos at night and also from the top of the Sears tower. I will upload them the next day

Sears Tower

Those twin towers are a car park, believe it or not!

Despite the blue skies the weather was freezing cold!, a pretty common thing all across the Illinois state in winter time.

More from the car park towers

I also took some more photos on black and white. That will go on part two.
