What a perfect framing you captured. A beautiful shot,
& like you mention, “who knew”.
It`s amazing how, if you break down our world into little
snapshots, there`s always a new way to see it. And this in,
quoting the Pace Picante sauce commercial, “New York City!”.
This Macchia Forest group was inspired by Chihuly’s desire to use all 300 colors of glass available. They’re solid colored inside, but very colorful on the outside of the bowl.
This is my favorite, but it is a tough choice. I love the entire exhibit. It is a striking combination of manicured nature and manufactured objects in natural forms.
This one is called The Sun, and it weighs 4,600 pounds, consists of more than 1000 individual pieces of glass, and takes 6 people 4 days to install. I wish the sun had been out while were there; it would have been spectacular.
I love this one. The Chihuly exhibit at the Mo. Bot. Garden had sculptures that used similar components but were put together differently. I love the yellow color.
Here it is! We just watched a special on Chihuly a few weeks. Why? Because it was in HD and my husband now only watches things in HD even if they don’t interest him. At least this documentary was good. Very good. Got us both searching for glass blowing classes. Like we could ever by that good. I wonder if the exhibit is ever going to get to Los Angeles? The special we saw was in Mexico and you got to everything from start to finish. He’s definitely and “artiste” and quite a character.
I have been wanting to see a whole exhibit like this for a long time, and it was wonderful. If you’re ever up in Seattle/Tacoma area, there are lots of Chihuly pieces in public areas.
The Chihuly website usually lists upcoming shows too.
So glad you and Boo were able to make it up our way to take these beautiful shots
(now I can actually see and appreciate them!). The Bronx is full of surprises –
next spring we’ll have to meet you at an amazing estate there called, Wave Hill.
Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

It would be perfect. You know, Christmas is coming, and I’m sure they’d give you free shipping to my house…
Thanks for posting these. This one is my favorite.

Neon tower behind the conservatory. This is the first neon Chihuly piece, by the way, and it buzzes like a mosquito zapper.

This one is my favorite. It reminds me of underwater photos I’ve seen of schools of fish.
Beautiful CG!
it’s gorgeous … love the colour and the fluidity

Hard to imagine a frog pond more beautiful than BT, but you wnet and found one. Spectacular photos.
What’s a frog pond without a topiary frog?

Okay, so I feel stupid. Some of his stuff is displayed in the museum I go to every Friday night for jazz. Next week, we go in!
You’ll love it. Take pictures for us?
Yes, we’re thinking of going this Friday, assuming we don’t get anymore work this week.
God, those are spectacular! Now I really want to know when we’ll get an exhibit around here.
Kewl! These are just fascinating.

I was surprised at how big the NYBG was…not what I was expecting from the Bronx. 🙂
It was fun seeing you both the other night. And Wave Hill (I just googled it) looks like it ust be gorgeous in the spring.
