chihuly nights



last weekend, on our very first cool evening of the summer,

i attended a spectacular exhibition of
art glass






displayed on the grounds of

Cheekwood Botanical Gardens,
here in Nashville.




we arrived before the sun set,

and watched as the glass was brilliantly lit for night time viewing.






please

enjoy...































NATURE

merged.

    Nice! As I understand it, Seattle and Chihuly are trying to build a Chihuly museum under the Space Needle and the "Saffron Tower" will go in there.

    We have a giant commissioned chandelier from him at the Columbia Museum of Art, I'll get a picture and put it on my blog . Scary to walk under , considering it would kill 100 people if it fell on them below ! Oh, he had an exhibit at the museum a year ago too. thanks, Gina P.S. I will warn you , like you didn't already know, that my picture will not be great like yours are.

    Most of your Chihuly photos enhance his works --they seem even more lush and sensual than the glass pieces looked in real life. Dale should hire you to photograph all his works.

    Love the ombre/fall photos -- as always -- you transform ordinary objects and scenes into something extraordinary.

    I saw something like that last year at a museum near us but nothing like that. What incredible workmanship!

    Our Botanical Gardens had a Chihuly exhibit in 2010 and it was magnificent... they purchased a few pieces to put on permanent display... he is an Artistic Genius with Glass!
