Cloud Gate is a wonderful addition to the city of Chicago for photography buffs. It draws people in and is a highly interactive piece of art, which is strange since it is highly inactive at the same time.
It would be difficult to go to Millenium Park and only take one photo of this fascinating piece of art. I hope to visit Cloud Gate every time I return to Chicago, just to capture it at various moments in time.
May 11, 2019 - Cloud Gate located in Millennium Park. "Affectionately called, “The Bean” and what has become synonymous with the Chicago experience is Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate.
Cloud Gate was created by using computer technology to cut 168 massive stainless-steel plates into precise shapes which were then pieced together like a puzzle and welded shut. Once fully assembled, the 12-foot-high central arch provided a “gate” to the concave chamber on the underside of the sculpture prompting Kapoor to formally name the piece Cloud Gate. A network of two large internal rings connects a truss that allowed the sculpture to be assembled and direct the weight to two points at the base. The stainless-steel skin was attached to the internal structure with flexible connectors that allow it to expand and contract in response to the extreme weather conditions in Chicago. The cost of Cloud Gate was completely underwritten by the Millennium Park Foundation using funds from private donors."

From my relatively "safe" spot, on the edge of one of the precipices,
it was like looking into the maw of a monster....the tide coming in and out like its breath.
well perhaps it was not really the maw of a monster, but it really was like it had a life of its own... and for a moment in time, we were apart of it
