This is a special edition of the Brownie blog. Uncle Mike has wanted to visit The Bean in Chicago for a long time. Mike and Jeannette were in Chicago this weekend for a wedding so they finally had an opportunity to see it. Lucky for them it was a beautiful day as well.
On the way through Millennium Park, we stopped to get a picture with Brownie on the BP Bridge. It was a little risky because if Brownie slid down the metal sides he would have been really hard to retrieve.
On to The Bean! The Bean is a giant bean-shaped sculpture. They welded a bunch of pieces of steel together and polished it to a mirror finish.
As you start to walk closer your reflection gets all distorted and different ways. Mike and Jeannette are in the reflection below, Jeannette is wearing pink. On the left side of the picture are our friends Mitch and Kate. Mitch is wearing a light colored shirt and is holding a camera.
Underneath The Bean, the reflections start to get even crazier. It's very neat and you can't see the weld joints at all.
As you can see, it was a beautiful day with the clouds and blue sky.
Here's another beautiful reflection:
