American Flag & Tribune Tower – Chicago in Summer Light | Fine Art Photograph by Michael Hart

Chicago’s Brilliant Blue Skies

There’s a song that says, “The bluest skies you’ve ever seen are in Seattle…”

Well, Seattle’s skies are lovely—but some of the bluest skies I’ve ever experienced have been in Chicago. Maybe it’s the breeze off Lake Michigan keeping the air crisp, or maybe it’s just magic, but the summer skies there can be absolutely radiant. I remember one evening dining outside Frontera Grill and just staring up in awe at the brilliant saturation of the blue overhead.

A Moment of Light, Motion, and Meaning

This image—captured on a similarly vivid afternoon—shows the American flag atop the iconic Tribune Tower, backlit by golden sunlight that dances across the intricate architectural detailing of the structure. The motion of the flag, the pop of red, white, and blue against that deep summer sky… it’s one of those perfect urban moments that make you pause.

A Skyward Glimpse of the City’s Soul

Texture, color, light, and meaning—all wrapped up in a single, upward glance in downtown Chicago.
