Okay, here's my contribution for "Your Sunday Best," hosted by A Rural Journal.

| "Cloud Gate" (a.k.a. "The Bean"), Chicago, IL October 2009 |
I took this photo in October 2009, while Livie and I were in Chicago with a friend of mine and her daughter. They'd wanted to do something "touristy" and "uniquely Chicago," so I figured they'd like seeing "The Bean," as it's affectionately called. We then headed to dinner for some authentic Chicago-style pizza, before heading to Ghirardelli's (across from the old Water Tower) for chocolate.
Livie and I love "The Bean" because it is just so cool-looking. It's fun getting photos of it because of its reflective surface. And with the color of the sky, the cityscape, the clouds . . .

Interesting post Sonya. I'd never heard of "The Bean" before. The clouds and the sky reflection is great.
Sonya this is an incredible shot. Thanks for explaining it. B
That's very cool! :)
That is so cool! Now I want to go see the bean.
Great photo. I didn't know about the bean before either. Beautiful sculpture.
Thanks and have a good day.
