Millenium Park
Art Institute of Chicago
 |
| I like buildings in urban areas |
 |
| Guess what's this! |
Introducing..... the Cloud Gate !
aka The Bean. The public sculpture is one of the main attractions in the Millenium Park, as it could distort the images reflected on it, especially the scenery of the city of Chicago.
 |
| Personally I think this is a good shot |
 |
| Dunkin Donuts for breakfast! I dislike sweet stuff though.. |

| Meet our new friend, Desmond Lai ! |
Next we visited the Art Institute of Chicago, which is located just right beside the Millenium Park.
 |
| Namewee? |

 |
| We've seen this sculpture in several museums and still don't know what it's named |
 |
| Wall-E's cousin? |
 |
| Troll face ! |
You doubt I understood any of the art pieces displayed. However there were some that caught my attention and interest.
 |
| Somehow, warming |
 |
| Somehow, inspiring |
 |
| Somehow, saddening |
 |
| Somehow, amusing |
 |
| Is this Knight from a chess set? |
The truth is, art museums bored me off. I was refreshened by some familiar music spreading through the whole institute. Then I left one of the galleries and went back to the lobby and saw this.
A Pi-pa performer deeply immersed in his performance and his music. Many were infatuated by his music and also, his charming passion. I was one of them.
There was a man who stood there long enough for several musical pieces to be performed. He stood there smiling in amusement and generously gave out applauses whenever a piece was finished. I thought this was touching - the interaction between a performer and an audience. A performer doesn't need a glamorous stage nor auditorium to perform in satisfaction, he doesn't even need a hall of audience to qualify a performance.
Sometimes, one is more than all.

| Chinese cauldrons |

Alright. I am not an artistic person.
Will update more soon.
Love from Missouri.
