Description

Bill posted an image last night entitled Tricks the Eye and it had several of you asking what MY shot looked like! So here it is. This is what it looks like when you lean backwards against the Bean (officially known as Cloud Gate) and take a picture of Chicago's skyline. For those of you who wanted more information on this fabulous sculpture, you can check out this link: Cloud Gate

Before even reading your narrative I just knew that this was the shot you took! A typical Tara shot - a unique pov! Well done Hun!!

I glad you weren't crippled in the making of this piece of art, my friend! Brilliant and most unexpected.

Picture possibilities are endless at The Bean...we visited on two different days and you could make a living just out of taking pictures of all the antics of the people gawking at themselves and others in those highly polished surfaces. Fun to see what your were seeing when I saw you looking! lol.

I knew too, but I hadn't imagined it to look like this. I guess I didn't know what to expect, ha ha!

Thanks for posting this Tara. Now I see what you were looking at - the reflection of the buildings in the lower half of the photo. This is cool, getting both the reality and the reflection in the same photo. It looks like the Bean has infinite potential for photos. And thanks for the link - I'm going there right now! Keep up the good work! :-)

Great shot Tara and I am not surprised that you found a different pov to look at these buildings. Love it! P.S. How is the snow? Still coming down? Looks like Olympia got hit harder than Seattle!
