Photo Chicago

What are some good places to take photos in Chicago?
My daughter and I want to wander around with our cameras this weekend and take some good scenic shots (gardens, architecture, water features, maybe a few of eachother with a nice natural backdrop, whatever). Just looking for suggestions on good places that we can spend a day without spending a fortune and get some pretty shots. I have a few ideas, but looking for something out of the ordinary that I might not have thought of yet.
Thanks for any suggestions!
The view from the Signature Lounge at the top of the John Hancock Building
The area around the Water Tower on Michigan Ave.
Millennium Park
The area around and near the entrance to the Lincoln Park Zoo and the Chicago Nature Museum (both are near each other so you can easily see both).
The Oak Street Beach area (great view of the towering city skyline.
Riding the Red, Purple or Brown line north (they offer the most picturesque train views of the city, the houses, the apartments from a unique vantage point, although some parts of the Orange line run are nice too)
The Garfield Park Conservatory
The area on the South Side of Soldier Field (they’re landscaped it and it has some interesting views).
The Clarke House and the area surrounding it (it claims to be the oldest house in Chicago and the area around it has been kept pretty much original)
The area around Northwestern University (not that hard to get to; you can catch the Purple Line in downtown Chicago and it will take you to Evanston express. Lost of classic architecture in a tree-filled setting)

Crosby, Stills & Nash (1st Album, Expanded and Remastered) $6.00 As much as any record, CSN’s 1969 debut ushered in the early ’70s singer-songwriter boom. Yes, this was a group, but it was one made up of three coequal composer/vocalists, each with a heady resume–Crosby an ex- Byrd, Stills in Buffalo Springfield, and Nash a former member of the Hollies. Each supplied distinctive material and contributed to CSN’s trademark harmonies. The addition of Neil Young m… |
