Those are skyscraper shadows at sunset in the first? Very cool. What was your vantage point?

God, I hate it when some idiot from PR changes a name for the change sake, from something absolutely specific and recognizable (like Hancock Observatory) to something generic, which can be anywhere and everywhere (like "360 Chicago"). And gets paid millions for that brilliant idea. For Chicagoans, Sears Tower is always going to remain so, no matter how many hands it changes, and John Hancock building just as well. Rant over.

Lulz.  I know what you mean.

It will always be "Candlestick Park" to me.

When I was there last month they were renovating it and the name change wasn't final yet.
If they clean those windows the view would be quite nice, here is an ooc pano (an X-T1, not known for its auto pano quality).

Here is another interpretation. This time a "proper" made pano. Dealing with the reflections in the windows was stupidly hard, I kind of gave up.
