Tomorrow is the grand opening of Chicago's $1/2 Billion, 27 acre, new Millennium Park (yep, 4 years overdue). This sculpture is appropriately called Cloud Gate by Anish Kapoor, its creator. Chicagoans are calling it the Bean, which it is shaped like. It is not yet finished. The lines you can see are yet to be welded and polished. The work is outstanding and inspires long study to observe all the reflections. You can see the new outdoor band shell reflected on the right which is actually behind this sculpture. This is the side view which is 42 feet wide.

Nice shot. Now if we could only transport that around with us.
You also did a good job of staying out of the reflection.
