    This sculpture, next to the art center, is a reflective "bean" and provides interesting reflections of the crowd.

    Ran Topaz Adjust to soften the look a little.

    Hey Mark, I love the bean and it gives you a great opportunity to capture people taking pictures! I love the Chicago skyline in the reflection and especially love the fact that the artist who created it knew exactly what would be seen there.

    Thanks for viewing and comments, Kerry. Appreciate it.

    It is very interesting to walk around it and see the many images it creates with the reflection and the shape of the bean being different at every angle. Worth a stop if in the windy city. ;)

    Thanks James for viewing and comments. Appreciate it.

    Yes, it is, if you have to get out of the woods! :) We have family there, so it is an occasional pit stop for us. While there, the cameras need a little flexing from time to time.
