As part of my endeavor to create a beautiful image of The Chicago skyline from 8000 feet, I was on yet another Southwest flight leaving Midway Airport in the morning hours flying east. As we headed out over Lake Michigan, I again had a view of the skyline from the window seat … but alas, another dull morning with respect to the weather.

Interestingly, the view on this particular flight was a bit more level and lower than normal … the result of a sharp correction to the flight path due to our plane and one leaving from O’Hare coming a bit closer than they should have. The pilot mentioned afterwards that the vertical separation was sufficient but the flight paths were … well let’s just leave it at that … Suffice it to say that fortunately it wasn’t of a sufficient nature that it made the evening news.
