His work is interspersed with the native tree, wild flowers and cacti. The place is very interesting on its own, but was really spectacular with the blown glass. We went late in the afternoon, so there was a lot of good lights and shadows on the glass. They are lit up at night which must really be something. Here are a few photos.
Today we start a forced march of tourism with Mike and Pam. They are only here for a few days so we will cram in as much as humanly possible.
Those are fantastic! I love Chihuly' s work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteWe saw Chihuly in Miami at Fairchild Botanical Gardens a few years ago and enjoyed it a lot.
It's really interesting to see how he interpreted the desert, vs. what we saw in the setting of a lush green garden with lots of ponds.

On Dale Chihuly's website, www.chihuly.com, I was able to see the entire installation at the Desert Botanical Garden. Wow. I know it's no where as cool as seeing them in person, but still. Of course, then I killed a lot of time looking at many of the other installations shown there.
