I’ve taken you on the train from Naperville into “the city”, AKA Chicago. We’ve seen the urban canyonlands and a few items from the Art Institute of Chicago. Last week, I shared photos of the Bean from around the outside. The reflections of the sky, buildings, and people are amazing. But get under the Bean and everything looks different. From a quirky distortion of its surroundings you’re taken into the land of M.C. Escher (or into section of the circus fun house with the funky mirrors.)
This, that and the other thing 
Fantastic! I’m even more determined to see it now.
Su, I hope you make it and hopefully one day we’ll be in NZ, seeing the sights there.

That would be great!
Amazing place to go!
Very true. Thanks for stopping by to enjoy it.

Oh that’s amazing. I’ve long been convinced that Anish Kapoor is something of shaman. He likes us to join him in states of altered reality.
Tish, I like that it’s so different from different places and angles. I haven’t seen any of his other pieces in person, but from what I’ve seen online, I think the Bean is my favorite.

very nice shots, Janet.
Thanks, Randy. Have a great Tuesday.
Now that certainly gives a weird view of things.
But so much fun! 🙂

These are fantastic images, Janet, and the first one is a show-stopper. Very other-worldly. Good job!

Thanks very much, Allan. It’s so much fun to see! I look forward to the next time and I have a photo or two left for another post or challenge.
Great vantage point and that first image has me returning and returning. Well done.
Thanks very much, Sally. It was mesmerizing.

I have only see this on TV but what amazing views you have here. I must visit someday.
I’m not a big city person, but Chicago is a pretty great big city and the Bean is great.
janet
Super cool shots!
Glad you liked them, Nicole. It was a perfect day and so much fun to see what reflections the Bean produced in different places.
janet
Really cool shots. Love them
Thanks, Raewyn. I’m glad.
janet
Oh my that is mind boggling.
It was, Pauline, and so much fun.
janet
Very cool, Janet! Great shot!
I look forward to getting downtown again and seeing what new faces of the Bean I can capture.
I had a lot of fun one afternoon a few years ago in Chicago taking pictures of The Bean. This post brings back some good memories.
Jeri, I’m glad I could bring back some good memories. Thanks for visiting and taking the time to comment.

So cool! I spent hours at the Bean shooting and watching people. Thanks for sharing and bringing back my memories.
Entirely my pleasure, Nicola. I look forward to going there again.
