I took the long way to the Bean. I made the mistake of wearing long pants, which I regretted almost immediately since it was so damn (comfortably) warm. You can see my pants in the shot of the ground, which I included to show how the joint between the sections of the overpass on the Chicago River had enough space for a mobile phone to easily fall through and go directly into the water, which was nerve-wracking since I had my phone out at all times.
