All credit goes to Tomdadums for taking the photo. Original post [1] http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/whbly/photo_i_took_of_the_chicago_skyline_from_a_beach/

[–]RE1Do 3 points4 points ago

Thanks for sharing.

[–]ZombiieShotgun 8 points9 points ago

holy fuck on a stick, thats just bananas man. SAVED!!

[–]i_post_gibberish 16 points17 points ago

I love how you can see the curvature of the Earth.

[–]bezuhov 27 points28 points ago

That's an optical illusion. The earth is flat.

[–]benzwaggy 5 points6 points ago

Actually warm air between the camera and and the horizon make objects beyond the horizon appear raised.

[–]ifoughtpiranhas 7 points8 points ago

Is this at the Indiana Dunes?

[–]qatmandue 1 point2 points ago

According to the OP, it's Indiana Dunes.

[–]ifoughtpiranhas 0 points1 point ago

Thank you :D

[–]m3rmaid 6 points7 points ago

Ah, home sweet home. Indiana isn't all that shitty like most think.

[–]metallicabmc 6 points7 points ago

As a former resident of Southern Indiana this is true.

[–]rockymountainoysters 0 points1 point ago

Welllllllll.... For most of Indiana, you're right.

THIS region of Indiana, however, is home to Gary.

[–]fotografamerika 1 point2 points ago

Gary Fitzpatrick? Fuck that guy.

[–]BackInOmNomNam 3 points4 points ago

I actually live here. Most likely taken from Porter Beach or Beverley Shores. Amazing view especially when the sun is setting. Chicago is visable on most days but this shot even took my breath away, and I've seen this same view many times. I love living in NWI in the summer! (:

[–]m3rmaid 1 point2 points ago

Porter Beach is a few minutes away from me and I too have never been able to see the skyline this clear. Beautiful!

[–]BackInOmNomNam 1 point2 points ago

Chesterton?

[–]m3rmaid 1 point2 points ago

indeed

[–]BackInOmNomNam 1 point2 points ago

Small world my friend.

[–]cometparty 2 points3 points ago

That is just... wow.

[–]TravellingPixie 2 points3 points ago

Just beautiful. I've been having a crappy week and it's good to see images like this, that remind us the beauty of our planet.

[–]acdanger 2 points3 points ago

This is a great landscape shot. The city silhouette looks nearly surreal. Reminds me a little of Florian Maier-Aichen.

[–]outfoxthefox 2 points3 points ago

I see you've stumbled onto the set of The Truman Show.

[–]mrpopenfresh 4 points5 points ago

What are the chances!? I was actually on Indiana Dunes on my trip to Chicago this summer. I would hardly call it any type of nature park, but it was very nice.

[–]PacmanUsuluteco 0 points1 point ago

great picture

[–]nic_Z 1 point2 points ago

Stunning...

[–]bbush 1 point2 points ago

Great shot!

[–]jbrooks772 1 point2 points ago

I've seen the exact same view. It is just as great to see in person. Lovely.

[–]pushytub 0 points1 point ago

This is absolutely remarkable. I actually said "wow" out loud...

[–]shyscope 0 points1 point ago

Thank you for the new desktop wallpaper!

[–]MrMagPi 1 point2 points ago

Well, Since I posted this on the original post a couple months back.. why not?

[–]sicophrenic 0 points1 point ago

TIL there are beaches in Indiana...

[–]hackinosa 0 points1 point ago

just wow. i was in chicago recently and was wondering if you could see the city from across the lake.

[–]ItsPochie 0 points1 point ago

That is honestly the most breath taking scenery photo I have ever seen...

[–]danwin 0 points1 point ago

Superb!

[–]mamjjasond 0 points1 point ago

Now that is some straight up city porn.

[–]foryoublue94 0 points1 point ago

This is absolutely gorgeous

[–]haerski 0 points1 point ago

Normally I hate sunset/rise pics but that's awesome!

[–]woo_hah 0 points1 point ago

It makes for a nice silhouette.
