Description
Cloud Gate aka The Bean
Millennium Park, Chicago, IL.

So me and my friends went for a trip up to Chi. It as one of my friends birthdays so we went up there to have some fun and eat at Ed Debevics, really interesting restaurant. I didn't do a whole lot of shooting, I'll leave that for a warmer day and when I can go by myself and spend several hours up there running around the city taking pics.

This is a shot of the Bean, true name "Cloud Gate". It's this huge mirror finish sculpture of a bean shapped figure, reflecting the downtown skyline and clouds above. It's a really cool site to see. A lot of people take pictures of this sculpture which makes most shots "cliche". I went for a more original shot and played with the flash a little to get the interesting lighting effects. I think it turned out really well and I think it's a fun abstract to look at.

EDIT(12/27/2010): Whoa, woke up this morning to a nice surprise, Daily Deviation Thanks to for suggesting me and for featuring
