He just has different wooden boats, then he fills then with random varieties of pieces in a certain color scheme. I took many shots of detail here that I will share in the next couple days and over a bit of time. I really enjoyed how this particular boat contrasted the surrounding landscape so nicely. And again, we will be getting closer to this one too. :) 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."
