Too Close? Or Just Close Enough?

Summer in Chicago. The sculpture is Cloud Gate by Anish Kapoor.

When you get close enough to this

When you get close enough to this…

The same view, under scrutiny…

Woah!

… it looks like this!

See me? I’m in the middle of the bright bottommost triangle, head titled to my right. To my left is a tall person with a camera. That’s my daughter, who took this spectacular shot.

    How funny – I was thinking of using the same object … but went for a building in Chicago instead. The last photo is brilliant – love the angle.

    That is such a beautiful piece! Looks like a drop of mercury, just 1,000 x bigger. I love that you see the people, in the second picture . . .
