Cow Climbs Skyscraper!

A few years ago, Chicago's downtown and "magnificent mile" areas were filled with cow sculptures. On a very gray day here, I was walking home from getting a haircut and happened on this angle. It gave me a good laugh so I decided to post it. The building in the background is the John Hancock Tower, one of the city's tallest buildings (you can feel it sway on very windy days).

Very funny!

Great perspective! Way to turn the world on it's side!

[Simply Amanda]

Hilarious. Cool shot and spotting!

[Stu Brown]

Awesome!
I want a climbing cow :-)
Love the shot, great pov :-)

[scott/scotthardingphotography]

[melissa]

I remember these! Fun perspective.

[Kazzy]

Such a fun shot :)

[Ann H. LeFevre]

That is really fun!

[Michael Van Krey]

I love that it is an oversized ladybug!

[Myrna O'Hara]

A climbing cow, now I've seen everything!!!!!!!!! Great find.

[KWind]

A fun and unique shot!

[Kerri]

Cool

[Anwan]

I miss having all the cows, and the puns! Very nice shot of this one.

@karenpics @amandalomonaco @kwind @jaynspain @carolmw @olivetreeann @kazlamont @mej2011 Thanks -- the humor in the shot was what caught my attention first as well.
@anwan I know -- I wish more of them would have stayed permanently!
@kerristephens @sailingmusic @photodude @stu_b @pflaume Thanks for viewing!
@vankrey Ah -- the ladybug markings -- I didn't catch that until your comment!

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Love it! I know the cow jumped over the moon but I didn't know she could climb tall skyscrapers too

[Kevin]

Great creative shot,

[Daniel]

Cool capture. I will look out for that cow next time I am that part of town.

@steampowered @topcat @danielwsc
Thanks Paul, Kevin, and Daniel.
Daniel -- the best view is looking east, I discovered. I'd seen it several times looking west from Rush Street, but it was going to the other side of it that really caught my attention.
Paul -- could be the skyscraper climbing helped the cow get in shape for the big jump....or once a cow's jumped the moon, what's left but continuing to seek ways to get above it all?

[Junko Y]

@vankrey -- I saw the ladybug-ness of it right away, too! And therefore, the humor of it climbing the building magnified!

And yes, Taffy, the Hancock contextualizes our Chicago cow . . .
Great fun and humor captured!

[AutomaticSlim]

Another one for the "I thought I'd seen it all but evidently not" collection.

[Taffy]

@jyokota @automaticslim Thanks! Until I took the shot, I can't believe how I mostly ignored it in the past.

[Danielle]

Holly cow! Love it, such a fun shot!

[Maaikel]

This is a fun shot!

[Taffy]

@danitech @maaikel Thanks -- I'd hoped it would make viewers smile.

[Jeff Walker]

I can't believe I missed this one the first time around! I love it! Love cows, even art cows :)

[Taffy]

Jeff, thanks so much for your comments and fav's today. You really did brighten my spirits! This cow shot is one of those I like a lot just because of its silliness. Every time I walk by it, I just smile, and ironically, I'd never noticed it up there before 365!
