Warm Walla Walla Onions


Warm Walla Walla Onions

Look what they have! It's a Walla Walla Onion pool kind of like the one that's at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. The difference with this particular pool is that all of the colors are warm tones. This is because of the Chihuly boat installation in the pool at the top of the waterfall in the background. Don't worry, we'll get to that soon. :) 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."
