On seeing this week’s topic the Chicago Bean (Cloud Gate Sculpture to give it it’s proper name) immediately sprung to mind and luckily I found a shot I hadn’t ever bothered with before as I had taken so many photographs of it. Anyway here is The Chicago Bean in all it’s shiny reflective glory.
Reflections of my life by Marmalade. A great song, but oh boy, is it depressing! Now I have an earworm.
I thought I’d throw in another shot on the Reflecting theme. Maybe if I’m a good girl this year Santa will bring me one of these. Or a pony. I’m easy to please.
p.s. You’ll be happy to know I have my ‘R’s’ back in the title field.

I love the bean, what’s under it? Is it an exhibition, or just a place to be?

It has a hollow dip going upwards, big enough to stand upright, where you can see reflections of yourself. It’s one of the sculptures at Millennium Park in Chicago. Very cool place to hang out. 🙂

I like the bean. Is it stainless steel? Or just something with a highly polished surface.
Nice r’s.

Two good shots. I used Cloud Gate (Bean) too and a visitor described it as looking like a giant water droplet had fallen on the crowd. 🙂

We’ve had many wonderful moments at the Bean and it’s hip neighbor, the fountain with faces in Millenium park.
