All

Chicago, in Illinois, stands on the shore of Lake Michigan, one of the Great Lakes, and is famous for its skyscrapers. Navy Pier, extending into the lake with its Ferris wheel, restaurants and tour boats, is one of the city's favourite leisure spots, while Lake Shore Drive runs along the waterfront as a major road.

This 4K camera from Lakefront Live shows Navy Pier, Lake Shore Drive and the Chicago skyline. Sunrise light on the lake and the glittering towers after dark are especially rewarding. Summer fireworks over Navy Pier, winter ice on the lake and snowstorms give the view a completely different character through the year.
