Green & Purple Fiori
Originally uploaded by DisHippy
A bit of a smaller installation that's called "Fiori" was off the path right in front of the sun when we were there. Of course I couldn't help laying down on the ground and getting some close shots of this one. One of my favorite things about the Chihuly glass sculptures in the gardens is that they can look different at different points during the day. Just the direction of the sun or lack of sun really changes the look and feel of these pieces. 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."
