Revealing Chicago

These photos of Chicago by photographer, Terry Evans, are so stunning. The aerial photos are part of a larger project, Revealing Chicago. Visit her website to see many more amazing photographs.

"I intend to highlight issues that concern everyone in Chicago, but that is not all. I want to share the beauty of this gorgeous, complicated city. Sometimes Chicago from above reminds me of looking at virgin prairie found from waist level twenty-five years ago, when I photographed the rich interweaving intricacy of grasses. More than anything, I wanted to show the diversity and complexity of Chicago, yet I have not even come close. This is an incomplete portrait, a fraction of a second in the life of Chicago, and every picture contains more stories than the image reveals."
