Cloudgate aka "the Bean" Chicago Millennium Park
The artist of the painting is the bearded man with a knit cap. I believe his name is Frank.

The Cloudgate sculpture wears a cap of snow formed into these fascinating chevron-shaped designs.
I'd been walking around for an hour or so in frigid temperatures by the time I made this photograph. I could barely feel my finger tips. So, after this shot I packed up my gear and headed for the warmth of the El train, then home to a hot cup of green tea.
Taken on an early cloudy Sunday morning (before the masses of visitors) in December 2012. Much to my delight, the night had a bit of rain which made the ground reflections reflect off The Bean too.
Still learning how to avail this incredible lens; but the buildings behind The Bean seem to look less convergent (i.e., more parallel) using a small shift and more remains in focus with a bit of shift.

Although this end-of-the-world shot looks like HDR, I actually just double processed the RAW file; once for the sky, and once for the rest of the scene. I left the tilted perspective of the buildings, thinking that it added to the drama of the image.

What trip to Chicago would be complete without visiting the famed Cloud Gate? The people on the right are watching the ice skaters in Millenium Park.
Still others like to jump while watching their reflection in Cloudgate at Chicago's Millennium Park.
Start of the week, and we're living in five star luxury overlooking Michigan Avenue here in Chicago.
We both went to bed before ten the night previously, and so we were both awake at about five, laying in bed watching the light traffic cast shadows on the ceiling of our room.
And another packed day ahead, this time with added art.
We get up at six, and its still dark outside, but the traffic is jumping and horns of the cars are a honking.
Welcome to the working week.
We were up, showered, dressed and waiting in line to Starbucks by half seven, another spiced pumpkin latte was good enough for us, but we had to sit outside again as there are so few chairs to on inside. I feed the small family of sparrows with left over granola, and they are very happy with that situation, each carrying away their sugary nugget of food into nearby trees to try to eat.
We walk down Michigan, over the Chicago River, past row upon row of impressive classical skyscrapers, and Trump's penis extension of a building. It is a vulgar and classless thing, which makes sense.
Down Michigan, until we reach the park near to the museum, where we turn inland to find a place for breakfast. We come across an independent coffee house, have two Queen Bee coffees, vanilla honey roast or something. Is nice, but sweet.
After drinking and eating, we walk back to Michigan, cross over and go into the park to hunt for the Sky Gate, a huge silvery bean shaped sculture that is very reflective. I hoped to be early enough so there would be few others about.
Some luck.
Everyone's a photographer these days, but the poor shots I take are more than made up (yeah, right) by the look of joy on the people around me's faces, as they try to take shots of the clear blue sky and huge buildings reflected in the sculpture's surface.
I take shots from all angles, but the truth is, none are that good.
Anyway, I spy some kind of area just beyond with sweeping, arcing supports for lights, that might be a winner? I snap that too.
