Sunrise at Adler

I watched the sunrise by the Adler Planeterium in downtown Chicago. This is my favorite view of the city! Watching the sunrise in the calm and peaceful morning provided a boost of serotonin! I did have to wake up early to get there before the sun did rise to figure out parking and viewpoint.
