The Rising Moon

The Rising Moon

Sitting on the far side of the niijima float garden up on a hill, is a sculpture called the moon. It's a collection of disc shaped pieces organized in a sphere making the moon. This particular shot makes it look like the moon was rising over the hill. I have a couple different shots with this in it that I of course will share. :) 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."
