Blanket: Photographer John Harrison, 60, captured the breathtaking scenes from his home office in the 98-floor skyscraper

Beautiful: Chicago is known for its bitterly cold winters, scorching summers and wind from Lake Michigan, but it’s not usually associated with rolling mists

Chicago may need to be renamed the foggy city after these incredible images of the tallest buildings bursting through the morning mist.

Shot from the 69th floor of the iconic John Hancock Center the spectacular snaps capture the rare sight of early morning fog rolling in from Lake Michigan shrouding the Windy City.

Photographer John Harrison, 60, captured the breathtaking scenes from his home office in the 98-floor skyscraper which he calls his ‘room with a view’.

John, originally from Connecticut, but who has been living in Chicago since 1995 said: “For me there are a few things which make photography unique.

‘The first is a view nobody else has and the other is being able to capture something unusual people don’t see every day.

‘This probably doesn’t happen more than four times the year, it’s not like California where it’s foggy every morning so it’s not a common sight.

‘Not many people see it except for us being high off the ground so to them it looks like a normal cloudy day.

‘I love being between two cloud levels – it’s fascinating because it’s always different every snap is unique.

‘I call in my room with a view. I work from home so I have cameras on tripods in three windows ready to go at all times.

‘They’re the start of a bigger project I want to embark on – my dream is to travel the world and sit in high rises and catalogue the world from different rooms with a view.
