Answer



The top picture shows the sculpture ("Cloud Gate") at Millenium Park in Chicago. The second picture is the picture I took, looking up at the sculpture as I was about to step underneath it. I circled myself and also used red arrows to show the various reflections of me - there are more, but they get harder and harder to see! Very cool sculpture!
Here is the description of it: "Cloud Gate is British artist Anish Kapoor's first public outdoor work installed in the U.S. THe 110-ton eliptical sculpture is forged of a seamless series of highly polished stainless steel plates, which reflect the city's famous skyline and the clouds above. A 12-foot high arch provides a "gate" to the concave chamber beneath the sculpture, inviting visitors to touch its mirror-like surface and see their image reflected back from a variety of perspectives."

That is the neatest sculpture. I love the pictures with the skyline in the back ground. Chicago has done some wonderful things to their downtown!

It will always be known as "The Bean"
