A Day of Glass

Ok.....so I finally got to Cheekwood to see the outdoor Chihuly exhibit.  If you're in Nashville, run to see it....if not, these photos are for you.  But, trust me, they do not compare to seeing the sunlight through the glass and the reflections in the water.  I first saw Chihuly's work at the Flint Institute of Art....the beautiful sea sculptures and of course, FIA has a magnificent (and enormous) Chihuly chandelier (if you're in Flint....this is something you should see).  All of the work is very colorful and although it seems to be inspired by nature, it is also in direct juxtaposition with the nature and sculpture around it.  You'll see....enjoy!!

Oh....you can also go on a Thursday or Friday evening as see everything lit up....that will be my mission next week.....  By the way, Chihuly is being displayed at Cheekwood through the end of October.  Once that is gone, do go see the Museum and grounds anyway....as you can see, they're beautiful.

These are just incredible sculptures. The way you've captured them, too, is a work of art. Beautiful. Thank you for posting.
