The top of Sears Tower and the Aon Building are in the clouds and a flurry of snow is falling in the south of the city. The roof tops are already white. And just the day before we were walking the streets at midnight with t-shirts on!!
This was taken from the bar on the 96th floor of the John Hancock building

A cityscape is the urban equivalent of a landscape. Townscape is roughly synonymous with cityscape, though it implies the same difference in urban size and density (and even modernity) implicit in the difference between the words city and town. In urban design the terms refer to the configuration of built forms and interstitial space. In the visual arts a cityscape (urban landscape) is an artistic representation, such as a painting, drawing, print or photograph, of the physical aspects of a city or urban area.
