Chicago's 'The Bean'

One of Chicago's most popular tourist landmark is the ultra-modern, silvery, bean-shaped structure, officially called The Cloud Gate. It is located at the Millenium Park at downtown fronting Chicago's skyline. The picture shows our Chicago hosts Ruby's high school classmates Pearly Unto-Castro, Teresa Luga-Kadusale, and Hope Suasin.
This structure is nothing but amazing. You get near it, and it becomes a huge curved mirror. Look at Chicago's skyline reflected across 'The Bean'.

Inverted House at Niagara

At the Niagara, Toronto side, along the strip, we ecountered this house. The architect was probably drunk when he designed this. The foreman was worse for blindly following the design, hence this result. Seriously, this is an eye-catching landmark. Good idea for tourism. Neat!
