39 photos that will make you want to leave Chicago immediately

As the world celebrated World Photography Day Wednesday, we decided to sit back and watch the show unfold. The result: We wanted to throw all the papers off our desk (we have a magazine coming out September 9, you know) and hop on the Blue Line straight to O'Hare. Chicago is a beautiful place, but there's a whole world out there waiting for you to spend your vacation days.

We've had our vacation through photos already today. Now it's your turn.
