Bean Reflection, Chicago - a photo on Flickriver

The Bean, or "The Cloud Gate" as it is apparently officially called, in Millenium Park, Chicago must be one of the best examples of urban sculpture anywhere in the US. It's beautiful during the day but the warped reflections of the city skyline on its mirrored surface at night are truly spectacular.

This picture was featured in Flickr Explore for March 28th, 2011.

I would greatly appreciate your vote in the 2011 Photoblog Awards. Thanks!
