My desktop background is a rotating mix of photos from my iPhoto library. When I was about to shut down my computer today this pic of Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate was on display.
And when I see it, it makes me kick myself that I have still (wait for it) never been to Chicago. Quelle horreur! My mother took this shot a few years ago and I think it's such a wonderful piece of landscape art. The warped reflection plays with our sense of scale, vista and perspective in a completely fresh and innovative way, yet still follows a tradition that Andre Le Nôtre had so much fun with when he designed Vaux le Vicomte.
I'm definitely getting Chicago in 2011.
Though I'll probably wait for warmer weather.
Perfect reflection and thoughts for my comment at 1:11AM on 1/11/11. Millenium Park is such a interactive area. You can spend hours just mulling about. Don't put off your visit too long.
