Hi, Shu! All I did was aim my camera and take the picture, the sculpture did the rest! That's me and Pieter right in the middle of the bottom edge and again about 8 and 4 o'clock and again at the bottom of the top circle and in numerous other places if you look hard enough! "The Bean" is what the people of Chicago call "The Cloud Gate" an amazing, huge stainless steel sculpture that is my most favorite piece of public art ever. They call it the Bean because it looks like a giant kidney bean resting on its ends. If you walk under the arch and look up this is what you see. You can read about it here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_Gate
