Cloud Gate, a public sculpture by Indian-born British artist Anish Kapoor, is the centerpiece of the AT&T Plaza in Millennium Park within the Loop community area of Chicago, Illinois, United States. The sculpture and AT&T Plaza are located on top of Park Grill, between the Chase Promenade and McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink. Constructed between 2004 and 2006, the sculpture is nicknamed "The Bean" because of its bean-like shape. Made up of 168 10mm thick stainless steel plates welded together, its highly polished exterior has no visible seams. [Wikipedia]

I spent some time on Saturday afternoon taking pictures of this piece, but there were too many people there, so I came back on very early on Sunday morning to get some "clean" pics before heading for the airport. I was fortunate that the complete cloud cover disappeared, and Sunday was completely clod free. It is the most fascinating object to photograph, as there so many amazing angles and reflections to be found, and I hope I have captured this in the pictures that follow.
