Another take on "The Bean"
Cloudgate ("the Bean"), in Chicago's Millenium Park, is no doubt one of the most-photographed landmarks in the city, and we often visit there when waiting for a theater to open its doors. I enjoyed the repeating patterns of this artist, (wearing a shirt depicting a painting of the Bean), working on a painting of the Bean, in front of the Bean, reflected IN the Bean (although he's standing in front of his reflection). It was enough to make me feel as though I'd entered a parallel universe!

sounds like a Star Trek movie LOL! Great image - love all of the reflections! I have never seen the bean and really want to! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteNice shot - reminds me of the old Kellog's cornflakes box - with a picture on the box of someone pouring cornflakes and on the box he was pouring from.....
ReplyDeleteGlad you didn't fall into the other universe. Fun shot and nicely composed.
ReplyDeleteAwesome reflection in 'The Bean'! Love the juxtaposition of the curvy bean and the straight lines of the buildings in the background. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteSo clever! The longer i look at it, the more I see! Well done!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, I'd love to see the bean!
ReplyDeleteGreat capture! Did you get to see the bean in its various stages of development? I did not, but apparently there were many steps to get to the shininess!
ReplyDeleteI love the Bean!! Clever idea for this one.
ReplyDeleteA unique take on the oft-photographed sculpture!
ReplyDeleteClever shot, Val!
