I pinch myself a few times.
Ouch. But WOW, I am really here.
This is no dream, no postcard, no scene from a movie. I am actually standing in front of the famous Cloud Gate in Chicago.
It is stunning.
*Whistles loud and long*
A closer look at the liquid mercury-inspired sculpture
Some fun things people do
I guess Asians will always be more “reserved”
See what I mean? Yaaaawwwwwnnnn.
I walk around The Lurie Garden and take in all the beautiful autumn colors
One last look before I head out to lunch
“What I wanted to do in Millennium Park is make something that would engage the Chicago skyline…so that one will see the clouds kind of floating in, with those very tall buildings reflected in the work. And then, since it is in the form of a gate, the participant, the viewer, will be able to enter into this very deep chamber that does, in a way, the same thing to one's reflection as the exterior of the piece is doing to the reflection of the city around.” - Anish Kapoor
You are genius, Anish Kapoor!
