Through Cloud Gate

Cloud Gate is probably the best known feature of Chicago's Millennium Park.

Here's a typical shot of it (you can see why it's affectionately known as "The Bean") - the way it reflects the surrounding cityscape is breathtaking.

For my blip, though, I went underneath it to photograph what the sculptor named the omphalos (Greek for "navel"). The reflections there are crazy - a hall of mirrors meets M. C. Escher! A couple more examples here and here.

It's a must-see on any viisti to Chicago. And apart from the obvious city and crowd reflections, it's possible to pick up lots of unusual shots - like this one :)

If you look closely, you may be able to spot me! (In the middle, wearing a long coat.)
