When I visited the Chicago Bean, it was very early in the morning. The sun had only just begun to rise and there was only one other photographer there.

The sunrise over Lake Michigan at Millennium Park's Cloud Gate is an experience like no other; watching as warm hues begin to creep across a dark sky before gently pulling apart into bands of pink light that reach out towards you from behind one of Chicago's most iconic landmarks - this will be something you'll never forget! If you can drag yourself out of bed early enough to witness it.
