A side view of the Cloud Gate in Chicago's Millenium Park.
Having trouble with this? You're basically looking at a giant curved mirror.
Cloud Gate ... aka "The Bean"

Love it... And your title made me giggle! I will say no more. Hahaha.

This is a fantastic view of Da Bean, and I love the way it takes up so much of the frame. It does look a lot like a small alien spacecraft: which gives me a few ideas for something...um...odd. I've noticed that I have a fascination with the UFO phenomenon and I'm kinda itchy to do UFO-abduction damage! I mean, could you imagine if alien abduction scenarios had the Chip-twist applied to them? The little gray aliens would get thicker necks to support those heads, and they'd probably get names too! Yeah, this might go somewhere, and I have you and Da Bean to thank for that! And this is a gorgeous shot! I love the reflectivity and the nicely cinematic quality. For all of that reflection, it's impossible to spot the photographer. That's so snazzy geometry taking place and I love it. This shot is great and it's a record of an exceptionally nice day!

Great Title If I hadn't seen shots of the Bean before I would have thought this was two different pictures, great shot.

I really like this POV - as you say, unless you know what it is bit confusing. Yet again you have pulled out another view. Another tick confirming it's place on my bucket list! Thank you, Clive

Oh beautiful! That is really a cool concept, Dear Tara, and am so glad I read what I'm looking at... fascinating, but I would have never known how you did this! That's a lovely idea and ever so creative!

Wonderful capture, Tara. The Bean is one reason why I play around with reflections and refractions - you can do so much

After having walked around and around the Bean...I am so pleased to see you have found yet another uncommon angle. Great eye. I have to add a Bean image to my gallery...but I have to find something novel which will be very hard to do. This must be the most photographed object in Chicago.

This is so cool, Tara! So how many mushrooms did you take? {:-0 Stellar creativity on this.

It's a giant fisheye lens! That's too cool, Tara! If I ever get to Chicago, I'll definitely have to pay a visit to the big shiny thing! LOL!
