Cloud Gate - "The Bean"

Photo of Cloud Gate, a.k.a. "The Bean", at Chicago's Millenium Park from its north "end." This was just taken last week and it could be seen from its landscape view that the bean needs a little spring cleaning. Birds have been using Cloud Gate to warm up with by sitting on its sun-warmed, mirrored surface and have been leaving behind not the greatest gifts.


It's also interesting what the curvature of the surface does to the distance reflected. I was positioned not too far from the Bean and where I was standing is barely visible, if at all.
