The Chihuly Garden and Glass

A trip to Seattle yesterday to see the Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum at the Seattle Center was in the cards. WHOA! Talk about eye candy. Here are a few images.

The first is the Sonic Blooms, designed by Seattle based artist  Dan Carson. These blooms are solar powered which provide enough powere to set them to glow in the evening ans sing during the day. They are pure delight.

So that you get a sense of their size, here is another view.


And then there was the Glasshouse . An asymmetrical room with an amazing Sculpture of glass flowers in reds, oranges and yellows floating near the ceiling and a completely open floor.


Here is the Glasshouse from the ouside.


Standing outside the Glasshouse, close to and slightly below the yellow glass explosion, looking upward at the Space Needle. Cool, don't you think?


You gotta love this capture. Do you see the reflection of the Space Needle and the glass house in this blue orb. Another way cool...


You need to see this for yourself.

Nice photos. I was in that area two years ago, but don't remember seeing any of this. Must be new or temporary.

It's been there about a year but is a permanent museum.
