Chicago Photos from The Willis Tower Ledge

The recent renaming of the old Sears Tower to Willis Tower has grabbed some headlines, but the building's newest features are four glass-enclosed retractable 'ledges' that have Chicagoans and out-of-town visitors buzzing and lining up to catch the views it now offers. Standing at 1,450 feet and 110 stories high, Willis Tower, the tallest building in the western hemisphere is impressive in itself. The new additions only heighten the thrills of a visit. There are four glass balconies located on the west side of the building's 103rd floor, 1350 feet above the pavement below. They can each support up to 5 tons of live weight.

Presented below are some exclusive photos of this new attraction provided by Chicago Photo Shop.
