Spring Reflections at Cloud Gate, Millennium Park- Photo Download

A wide-angle view of Cloud Gate (affectionately known as “The Bean”), the large mirrored steel sculpture by artist Anish Kapoor in Millennium Park, Chicago. The sculpture’s highly polished surface reflects a distorted panorama of the surrounding Chicago skyline and the white blossoms of nearby ornamental trees in early spring bloom. In the foreground, a classical stone balustrade and lamp post frame the scene, while a diverse crowd of visitors lines the terrace below the sculpture. Lush green grass and bare-branched trees flank the composition, and a multi-story office building is visible through the treetops in the background.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
