Time. It's another
wonderful way of opening
your eyes to new and
different kinds of
beauty. Click on the web
address under the blog title and
sign up to play with us! I had an opportunity to go to the Chihuly Garden and Glass Park which is located next to the Space Needle in downtown Seattle. It was one of the most different, interesting and beautiful places I've ever visited, so I wanted to share some of it with your today. I would also like to share this with you -- the daughter of my creative friend, Suranga, who designs my fun headers has entered a National Geographic Photo contest and her entry is fantastic! You can see it and vote in less than a minute at this site Do stop by, you'll be glad that you did!!! A note! some people are having trouble connecting with the National Geographic site, so Suranga has added the address in her comment below and it does work!!! |

Fascinating images this week Sylvia. I hope your visit to this unique locale was fun. That 2nd shot is especially fun.
Beautiful glass work. Thank you for sharing, Sylvia.
Both places gave you wonderful photo ops. I love the rainbow of colorful reflections dancing on the walls.
Have a delightful weekend, Sylvia.

I thank you on behalf of my daughter, Pankaja !
Your photos are always interesting and wonderful! Have a great weekend, Sylvia!
Thanks for providing the link to Pankaja's photo. She's a wonderful photographer.
The park that you shared looks amazing. I love the color and reflections that you've captured.
What interesting pieces of art! so special and amazing!
Done, I voted! :o)
I wish you a nice week-end!
You really had some "arty" photos this time. My favourite must be the last one with the person seen leaving. Gives a special perspective.
love that third one especially
Okay... I have to go back to Seattle Center then... :-)
Very nice, I like them all pretty delicious colors, must be a nice visit to the Garden and Chihuly Glass Park. Greetings and good weekend.
Amazing art and some beautiful photos of it!
Fantastic photos, Sylvia. I also love the quotes. Thank you so much for sharing.
chihuly is pretty amazing. his work is being exhibited by the Dallas Arboretum right now and one piece got damaged by a bad hail storm. :)
Dale Chihuly's work is amazing and you live right in the heart of the modern glass movement an contemporary glass artists. I have seen his work around the country and love it best in a setting like Chicago's botanical gardens from several years ago.
I hope that you have a wonderful weekend, mon amie!

What an awe-inspiring place! The colour, the shapes, the reflections, the whole design - so refreshingly creative! Like a torrent of fantasy! Wonderful!
loving that first photograph
Superb captures!!
wow! the glass park looks awesome! thanks for sharing the photos. have a fabulous weekend, Sylvia!
Wow, what a treat, great shots. Chihuli has many pieces in a botanical park in Saint Louis that are just wonderful and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art also has a big installation.
what a spectacular, sylvia!
the glass park looks incredibly awesome and interesting.
brilliant photos as usual.
happy weekend, my dearest!
I love Chihuly. This are some fantastic shots, Sylvia!

Oh my gosh what an amazing place Sylvie, glass is such a wonderful medium to work with and creates the most colourful reflections. I have clicked and voted for Pankaja's photographs, she is a very talented young lady.
