"Cloud Gate" Covered by Snow

The massive, shiny sculpture in downtown Millennium Park perhaps earns its nickname ("The Bean") even more when it's covered with snow, and the clouds are hard to see.  Unfortunately, it was a cloudy day when I took these pix (January 7, 2005), but the effect of snow sheets on top of the Bean was compelling.
