[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Cloud Gate, Millennium Park, Chicago

Cloud Gate, or "the Bean" as it has been affectionately dubbed by locals, has quickly become one of the most popular, and most photographed, sights in all Chicago. Designed by British artist Anish Kapoor, it is over 100 tons of stainless steel, polished and shaped into a giant fun-house mirror. It's reflections are both weird, and incredible, and occasionally disorienting and disconcerting.

There are two photographic highlights: the outer shell, and the "omphalos" underneath. Outside gives great reflective shots of the buildings along Michigan Avenue. The "omphalos" creates a sensation of looking into something much deeper and bigger than it really is. The distorted reflections upon distorted reflection creates illusionary tunnels inside the sculpture.

HI Tsilla
What an amazing effect, the distortion in the background like a giant wave about to engulf the crowd in the front. Must have been very interesting to visit.
Good one for the theme
Dot

Hi Tsilla,

I like it, quite unique and original take. Splendid reflections and really vivid colours. I am trying to find you in the image...but there are too many couples on the image and it is hard to recognize the faces. Where are you?

Have a nice weekend,

Stasa

Hi Tsilla,
I was absent when you posted this one!
Superb subject and a very creative way to enter in this theme! The ambience and the details are beautifully rendered!
A true kaleidoscope of colors, here!
Excellent capture despite the hard conditions, I presume.
Bravo! Annie
