A place to reflect in Chicago

Looking for a place of reflection to start the new year?

Melanie Petersen, of San Diego, found a prime spot under “Cloud Gate,” a 66-foot-long, 110-ton mass of shiny stainless steel in Chicago’s new Millennium Park.

The sculpture, designed by Anish Kapoor, includes a 12-foot-high concave area where Petersen took this shot.

You don’t have much more time to reflect, though.

Starting this week “Cloud Gate” will be tented for five months while workers finish welding seams and polishing the surface to a mirror-like sheen.
