Bean in the Snow, pp-taffy by taffy

Bean in the Snow, pp-taffy

All that snow, fog, dreariness and today the sun finally came out. I got out for a walk to Millennium Park and the trusty Bean and it didn't disappoint. And with Flash of Red for the month, I'm hoping to stick with it for the 28 posts.
Thanks for the comments/thoughts about the weird circles in last night's post. About 2 hours later, they plowed the entire parking lot and it became totally uninteresting.
Beautiful. I’ve never seen the Bean before and your photo is an excellent introduction.

What a beautiful peaceful scene. Hard to believe there is no one around. Or did you erase them? haha! That's what I would have done.

@joysfocus It was really empty. I was there about 4:00 and the city was fairly empty overall. Not many tourists around and the weather isn't very inviting to be outdoors. And we are still at high levels of contagious so most are working from home, though we aren't in lockdown.

Peace in Millennium Park- what a gift. I adore the Bean, (Cloud Gate, I think)

And without a single tourist. Love the contrast.

Beautiful

Always enjoy your bean shots and this one suits the mono very well. I think the snow is giving it so much light that it makes it shinier even underneath.
February 2nd, 2021  
Fav - I must visit Chicago some time!
February 2nd, 2021  
Absolutely stunning.
February 2nd, 2021  
Cool shot and editing

Great reflections in there!

Black and white works. Seen others bean pics but I think black and shows much better. Good job
February 2nd, 2021  
Wow, very cool in B&W.
February 2nd, 2021  
great with the snow (are you also suffering) - and no people
February 2nd, 2021  
Fantastic shot...The steely b&w look is great for this winter shot.
February 2nd, 2021  
A super image.Fav😊
February 2nd, 2021

February 2nd, 2021  
It is awesome against black!

Amazing.
February 2nd, 2021  
Always a favourite - lovely balance and reflections. Odd to see it without people.
February 2nd, 2021  
stunning as always
February 2nd, 2021  
The bean is just as interesting in b&w. The snow doesn't hurt.
February 2nd, 2021  
Stunning shot
February 2nd, 2021  
special to be there with so few people around. Glad you braved it out and you were well rewarded. This is a brilliant capture.
February 2nd, 2021  
Makes a beautiful photo. Love that you only see people in the reflection of the bean. Is that area still closed?
February 2nd, 2021  
My bean photos when you took me there are very much cherished!
This is stunningly spectacular.
February 3rd, 2021  
Nicely presented
February 3rd, 2021  
Oh yes. I want to shoot the bean when I am there
February 3rd, 2021  
Awesome capture. Really looks good in the b&w.
February 3rd, 2021  
@lesip Yes, the fencing is still up around the Bean. I did see footprints so some have climbed the fence, but from what I've seen when I was there, most are respecting the boundaries.
February 3rd, 2021  
Seems so surreal without people! I like this capture and your processing very much
February 3rd, 2021  
The bean without people......surreal indeed. Totally stunning!
