Shooting from a Parking Garage

 So the planes in front of my hotel room dried up when they had to take off from other runways because of the Air and Water Show.  So I looked at what runways they were using and I looked at a map to see where I could get a decent place to watch them.

 I found a Metra Station where I could watch them but then I looked at a parking structure behind me and saw a camera lens.  So I headed over there.   While I was not happy with getting belly shots, the planes were flying right above me and I could almost touch them.  So that was a nice tradeoff.

It started to rain, so I got a little creative.
