A trip to Chicago: The cloud gate

Last week we went to Chicago to see my cousin get married. On the way of course we did a bit of sightseeing and I managed to take a few photos.
Flickr of course has thousands of other photos of the Bean, as it's also called, if you want to see what it looks like from other perspectives. I was mostly interested in its Escheresque qualities.

WOW! Yes, I've seen "... thousands of other photos of the Bean..." but this one is something else.

This photo rocks! It has to be my all time favourite of all of your photos. Way cool. And very escheresque. Which, of course, makes me think of one of my favourite movies, Labyrinth. Which of course, starred one of my favourite performers - David Bowie.
From Bean to Bowie. There ya go.

The difference between sisters (and eras): Heather watched "Labyrinth" for the aging rock star, I watched it for the way-cool muppets.

Marvelously surreal.
Would love to see this one blown up very large.
