I made it to the Chihuly Exhibit once more this week. This time I arrived in late afternoon and was able to stay until it got dark. This gave me the opportunity to see the glass exhibits with sunshine first and then glowing with lights later. I was also lucky enough to go on a night when the temperatures stayed beautifully mild. So here is another picture from the exhibit to go with the ones I posted in December. In this one I was able to catch some sunset enhanced sky in the background.
I’ll post a few more photos in the coming weeks.

Chihuly Exhibit

Stunning art.Stunning photo
ReplyDeleteChihuly's art is immediately identifiable. It looks like it's outside, but is it in a gallery next to a window? Lucky you to see the exhibit; I'll look forward to more photos.
ReplyDeleteKate, it is outside. This exhibit is at the Desert Botanical Gardens in Phoenix. He has done garden settings before but, they have always been inside structures. This is his first that is completely out doors.
ReplyDeleteJulie and I went to the Chihuly's exhibit last weekend wit other members fo the family and it was great. Julie went back at night to take more photos, which she intends to post in the future on her new Scottsdale Daily Photo site.
ReplyDeleteWe did not realize when we bought the tickets that it would be the same day as the P.F. Chang's Rock & Roll Marathon. It took us an hour to find a route into the Desert Botanical Garden that did not cross the marathon course. Visiting the Chihuly exhibit made it worth the effort.

ReplyDeletewow what colours!!
ReplyDeleteAwsome shot! And a fun day all around.
ReplyDeleteI'm always attracted to your Chihuly Exhibit photos — I think I better find out more about it. I don't even know if 'Chihuly' is a person, an art style, a group, or whatever! ;D

ReplyDeleteHilda, Chihuly is an artist who works in glass. He has glass works in a lot of museums around the world.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to go see this in person!
ReplyDeleteThis photo is awesome! It's cool to see the glass in a natural habitat like this. Amazing.
