Cloud Gate

@ millenium park, chicago
Cloud Gate is British artist Anish Kapoor's first public outdoor work installed in the United States. The 110-ton elliptical sculpture is forged of a seamless series of highly polished stainless steel plates, which reflect the city's famous skyline and the clouds above. A 12-foot-high arch provides a "gate" to the concave chamber beneath the sculpture, inviting visitors to touch its mirror-like surface and see their image reflected back from a variety of perspectives.

Inspired by liquid mercury, the sculpture is among the largest of its kind in the world, measuring 66-feet long by 33-feet high.

Quadracci Pavilion

@milwaukee, wi
I took this picture when I went to visit my sister in Milwaukee. Milwaukee Art Museum, the first Santiago Calatrava-designed building in the United States, features a 90-foot high glass-walled reception hall enclosed by the Burke Brise Soleil, a sunscreen that can be raised or lowered creating a unique moving sculpture.

Balluminaria

@ eden park
Balluminaria is one of the largest tethered hot-air balloon festivals in the country. Nearly a dozen full-size hot-air balloons are secured around Mirror Lake in Eden Park. As dusk falls, the flames that heat the air in the balloons cause them to glow -- an effect that's reflected in the water.

This picture I took at a beautifull park near my appartment, Ault Park. The gardens there in the spring and summer are amazing!. The flower gardens in the park are taken care by families that sponsor the park.
