Saffron Tower and Cattails
Originally uploaded by DisHippy
Cheekwood Botanical Garden is set up to lead you from garden to garden via a paved path which transitions quite nicely. At the entrance to the first garden, we see these beautiful Chihuly pieces. We have the Saffron Tower in the center, comprised of yellow and white neon. On each side and around the surrounding path, are the red cattails. 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."
