Cloud Gate:
Is lovingly known as the Bean in Chicago and is one of the main
attractions at Millennium Park. It's a monumental public sculpture
by Anish Kapoor which weighs in at 110 tons. Named Cloud Gate by
the artist, it's a stainless steel sculpture designed to reflect
the Chicago skyline, the new park and everything around it.
The sculpture has been unveiled but is still being buffed out.
Currently the seams are visible but when finished it will be a
seamless reflection of the Chicago Skyline and anyone standing
nearby.
You can view Cloud Gate (visit link) by web cam
and see some magnificent views of the sculpture and Millennium
Park.
To get credit for this cache:
You must take a
photograph of Cloud Gate (aka the Bean) with your reflection in the
picture. Your face must be clear enough to identify that it is you
and your GPSer must be visible as well. It took me two tries to get
a picture so that my face wasn't hidden by the camera so, be sure
to think about your face, your GPS and your camera... and for
artistic reasons think about what else is in the reflection. You
might want to pick a specific building or sculpture to be in the
picture with you or, you might prefer to have someone or something
else in the picture with you. Just make sure it's a reflection of
you off the mirrored surface of Cloud Gate.
