“The Bean” ~~

We are visiting Chicago for the first time this week and I am overwhelmed by the city’s natural and architectural beauty. I’ve always known it was a great city with impressive architecture, but it has exceeded my expectations. I’ve taken lots of photos but will save them for later. For today’s 365 project I’m posting images of one of the most interesting attractions of Chicago’s Millennium Park. The huge bean-shaped mirrored sculpture by artist Anish Kapoor, called “Cloud Gate” but mostly known as “The Bean.” It’s an impressive piece of art that is both interesting and fun. Too bad there are so many silly tourists around it taking pictures all the time. Ahem… 🙂
