Chihuly at the NY Botanical Garden

[jamesjaie]

Today my wife and I checked out the Chihuly exhibit at the NY (Bronx) Botanical Garden. This was one heck of an exhibit...not only can you see some of the rarest plant specimens, but you are treated to beautiful glass sculptures created by Dale Chihuly.

I took along my LX2 (not at all intimidated by the plethora of expensive glass and Hasselblad's) and was able to get some pretty good shots.

You can check out the gallery here: http://picasaweb.google.com/jamesjaie/Chihuly

Here's a one shot of just an amazing piece:

Those glass sculptures are cool. My favorite shot in your gallery is #4. But I enjoyed the whole gallery of interesting views. I like the way they placed the glass sculptures in with the greenery. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for looking. That photo is indeed a glass sculpture. It was truly unique and beautiful how his sculptures meshed so perfectly with the surrounding nature.
