The Cloud Gate is probably the most visited and famous place in Chicago. This is an iconic spot and is located in Millennium Park.
Chicagoans say you will always find a crowd here and I found it to be true for I visited there in the cold of December and there were many people lingering around who were mostly tourists.
This place has a formal name Cloud Gate but is popularly known as the Steel Bean and is designed by Indian-Canadian Designer Anish Kapoor. The steel structure is amazing and a great photoshoot place with family, friends, or even alone. Constructed between 2004 and 2006, the sculpture is nicknamed The Bean because of its semi-circular shape.
A stainless steel piece of art, it is just a mirroring bean, but I loved it and everything surrounding it, which it beautifully reflects, most notably the skyscrapers of Chicago, besides of course my outstanding personality 
I had fun looking at myself in the structure and felt it at all angles. In spite of it being a cold day, the structure felt mild on touching. I had a lot of photos taken by myself and by others since I had only a digital camera with no selfie option. I enjoyed looking around and found that it’s somehow even more reflective than I imagined.
I think I can not tell how artistic it is but it always looks so perfect and in harmony with the environment. It was a worthwhile visiting the only nonedible bean in my life and will remain etched in memory.
Fun Facts learned from fellow tourists:
Made up of 168 stainless steel plates welded together.
Highly polished exterior with no visible seams.
Measures 33 feet x 66 feet x 42 feet or 10 meter x 20 meter x 13 meter.
Weight 100 tons.
Have you ever got an opportunity to view the surroundings reflected in a polished or reflecting structure, especially outdoors? I’d be interested in knowing your experiences.
Until then… Happy Guiding
