    The sky looks haunting (meaning good for a photo) and that first shot looks like a painting (also good).

    The Cloud Gate, aka Bean, is a photographer's magnet, isn't it?

    So have I. Yet, I haven't. And it is so close. The Bean awaits me some day.

    That first shot looks like something out of a children's story book! Love it! Is it a close-up of a reflection in the bean? Nicely seen!

    Both of those are stunning. Chicago is my favorite city and I wish I had more time to walk around there and take photos. I love how in the second shot the bean looks like a blob of mercury getting ready to engulf those people. How do they keep it so shiny? :D

    actually, I was pretty far away from the bean, probably around 30ft away
