Glassy Water Reflection

The next stop on the photo walk takes us to another set of Mille Fiori pieces inside a very glassy reflection pool. The first set of pieces are these purple reeds with the yellow and green sea forms. We spent a lot of time in this area since there were three different installations in this water. Enjoy!

About the series
This series of shots were taken on 10-22-2010 at Cheekwood Botanical Garden. Dale Chihuly, world renowned glass artist, was having a garden exhibition where he installs pieces into the gardens to enhance the appeal of both the gardens and his work. This is the fifth Chihuly exhibition that I've gone to and the fourth that I've been able to shoot. I really enjoy the mixture of the glass and the gardens, and it makes for great photo opportunities.

"I love to juxtapose the manmade and the natural to sort of make people wonder, is it manmade or did it come from nature? That's a very important part of my work."
