Lago Viedma in South Patagonia Press Play for the music......

Wonderful blue natural ice sculptures on the top front of Glaciar Perito Moreno and UFO-clouds in the background - Patagonia. In the year 2000 we took a guided tour on the glacier and we came very near to these spectacular ice towers. I made the same tour in 2015 again, when it was all much "safer" and we hiked only in a far distance from the front. scanned slide Minolta X700, Fujichrome100 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minolta_X-700

The "Playboy Building" was home to Playboy magazine from 1965 to 1989, its now called the "Palmolive Building", you can choose, what sounds better, is a 37 story, 172 m high Art Deco building, completed 1929. Seen from John Hancock Center, down into the white fog, on the roof you see the famous "Lindbergh Beacon". scanned slide Minolta X700, Fujichrome 100

View from the skydeck of Sears Tower (since 2009 "Willis Tower"). It was the highest skyscraper on earth in 1986. 442.1 m is the architectural height, but the building is 527 m tall till the top of the antennas. I made a little research about the buildings, which can be seen here (see notes). Some are really old. scanned slide Minolta X700, Minolta MD 4/70-210mm lense
