We started a quick road trip early this morning. I was surprised that the directions had us driving right through downtown Chicago, but I guess 6:45 am on a Saturday isn’t quite peak travel time.
Just after 7:00 we rounded the bend to see the skyline of the city, which got this ole brain musing. Thought I’d diagram my thoughts today, since they refuse to walk through the hallways in an orderly fashion. Enjoy my musings, and feel free to share your own ideas about skylines as well.


Skylines are unique, and some are just instantly recognizable. I always got excited when, from a bus window, the skyline of NYC came into view.
Thanks, Bob. I can imagine your excitement. Was it a place that was home-ish, for you, or a place you really just enjoyed visiting?
Just visiting. My aunt lived and worked in Brooklyn and we would visit yearly.
What a unique way to think about a slice – a skyline slice … Love the thoughts you have about place that are surrounding your skyline.
Thanks, Ona. It was one of those things where I just grabbed some flairs and my notebook to see where my thoughts would take me. I honestly thought I was just going to write a Slice and then type it in, but I think I like this result better!
Oh I popped in to read this too…I LOVE skylines, somehow they speak to me of promise, I’ve no idea why. I also love the diagram, but I’m not quite sure of the order you wrote them in…!
Speaking to you of promise. YES! Both promise *and* familiarity. Amazing how that happens…
