Wow, Thanks for all the great comments! I really appreciate it. @Randy Rosenberger - This shot was taken in downtown Chicago. About 15 years ago they redesigned this park and now it's called Millennium Park. The proper name of this particular sculpture is 'The Cloud Gate' but everyone calls it 'The Bean' due to it's appearance. When I first saw it back in 1997 it was many plates of stainless steel and all the weld lines were visible, and after it was put up the big complaint was that it detracted from the reflected cityscape so that first time I saw it, it was half covered with scaffolding to fill all the weld lines and polish it out so it looked like one solid piece of reflective chrome structure. There are some really great angles with this one and then the weather comes into play as well.
