Chgo: outshot by NY, SF

Chicago better load up, guys. We've been extremely out shot by New York and San Francisco. Two recent threads on this board have included:

a highly detailed overhead shot of San Francisco's downtown that includes areas eastward to the bay and north to Telegraph Hill and the north waterfront. one, singular picture for which I have seen no peer. zooming in on this tremdenously large stretch of sumptuous real estate, you can actually pick out the most minute of details.

a series of panoramic pix of the Manhattan skylines (midtown and downtown), also in enormous detail, although these taken at more ground level. one pic was extraordinary in its contrast: a close in view of low-scale, single-house oriented suburban NJ on the banks high above the Hudson, with both the midtown and downtown skylines across the river and a sweep that even included Jersey City's evolving skyline to the south.

I've seen fantastic pictures of Chicago here, but none that gave either of the orientations: bird's eye straight down or dramatic/detailed sweep from end to end.

Does anyone know if pix of this nature and quality have been taken of our town?>
