it looks like this pic was taken prior to the final polishing. I find its imperfection extremelly real and appealing!

I've seen many different takes on this piece of art. I've read that it's hard to get a photo where there isn't a crowd around it.

What is THAT? Looks like interesting... In Finland we have some round houses, like football or UFO. They are from 60's and some people still live in those silly houses. Is this a mirrorhouse? :) Maybe just art...

It is a sculpture called the Bean.
Great shot Stephen here is my drawing of it based on someone else's pic.

Hey Stephen,

Are you in the reflection some place? If so where? Just curious.

gramma ann,
i am way too far away using a high power zoom. i am not detectable partially beacause of the shape of the mirror.

Oh my goodness it's an Alien Space Pod...are you sure Steve that this wasn't what caused the earth to shake, rattle & roll? He! He! He!

katherine,
i think it looks like a space pod more than anything. it's modern art and is really cool to photograph up close because of the weird reflections. it can make we fat guys look thin.
