A smokey fire spread through the old Chicago Sun Times building today. This building is being demolished to make way for the newest Donald Trump Tower. some of you may be familiar with the project as Bill Ranscic, winner of the first Apprentice Reality Show, is the Project Manager.

Great shots. I'd have to say the second is my favorite.

Very interesting shots.

I guess the fire was a success. There's that much less to demolish.


I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

Thanks Everyone! I got quite a few good "people" shots like number 2. I will post some more in a little while.

Second shot is nice, but the third does it for me.

Great series of shots, I think I like the first one the best, really tells the story in my opinion. Sure was a lot of smoke

i think 2 and 3 are good, the 3rd would have been great if either the angle was slighlty changed to show just the building, ladder and firefighter and not so much of the far building. Very nice all the same though!

Number 2 and 3 are better to me. In fact, #3 is really an impressive shot. I like it and it would be in my portfolio if I had taken it.


Thanks for stopping in and having a look.
