Don't really remember this being a golden night since it was about 10 below zero. But for reason every shot I took of the Bean from this angle was as gold as can be. There was a fair amount of yellow light, but I suspect I must have accidentally hit the White Balance button, since I was shivering so much, I was snapping like a fool. The Night of the Golden Bean it is.

Last looks at the Frank Gehry designed Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago. I can't decide which framing is more effective.

Maybe I did a little editing on this one and maybe it's a bit overboard, but I like it and, well, hey, it could happen!

A fantastic spot in downtown Chicago to photograph the cityscape is down at Millennium Park by the Bean, especially during the blue hour

The Crown Fountain
Unusual to see this early in the morning without the crowd of splashing, yelling children that play in it all during the warm weather.
Designed by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa and inspired by the people of Chicago, The Crown Fountain is a major addition to the city's world-renowned public art collection.
The fountain consists of two 50-foot glass block towers at each end of a shallow reflecting pool. The towers project video images from a broad social spectrum of Chicago citizens, a reference to the traditional use of gargoyles in fountains, where faces of mythological beings were sculpted with open mouths to allow water, a symbol of life, to flow out. Plensa adapted this practice by having faces of Chicago citizens projected on LED screens and having water flow through a water outlet in the screen to give the illusion of water spouting from their mouths. The collection of faces, Plensa's tribute to Chicagoans, was taken from a cross-section of 1,000 residents.
The fountain, which anchors the southwest corner of Millennium Park at Michigan Avenue and Monroe Streets, is a favorite of both children and families. The water is on from mid-spring through mid-fall each year (weather permitting,) while the images remain on year-round.
A fountain is the memory of nature, this marvelous sound of a little river in the mountains translated to the city. For me, a fountain doesn't mean a big jet of water. It means humidity, the origin of life.
-Jaume Plensa
Chicago is quite a beautiful city. Jack & I attended a "Restaurant Association" convention there, back in May. Since I have grandchildren on my mind, this capture in particular, caught my eye.
