Second time around and I think I've found you at last in the reflections. Is that you with the tripod?

10 Apr 2013 6:44am

@Curly: Not me with the tripod. Since this was taken back in 2010, I can't really remember where I was standing, but this was a single-shot HDR. I believe I was standing near the trees in front of the BP Amoco Building (tall square white shape). The four girls in front are relatively close to The Bean, but their reflection makes them seem much further away.
