Tacoma, Washington ~ May 21, 2004These blown glass shapes are what you see when you look skyward inside Dale Chihuly's Bridge of Glass in Tacoma. It's literally a covered section of a bridge across the highway, and this is its ceiling. To look up plunges a person into a wonderland of delight. When I saw it for the first time, I couldn't believe I'd never heard of it before. Where had I been? Another artist, Christo, is so famous for wrapping things (including bridges) which I find only mildly interesting. This, on the other hand, was something more people should know about. I suppose it doesn't get the press because it's only beautiful and not that weird or huge.

Chihuly is certainly one of a kind. His works are incredibly beautiful and, I believe, timeless.
Oh my goodness! It's beautiful!
I have often wondered why certain art is recognized by the masses and other art is not.
I've also wondered why certain people are recognized and others are not.
Gorgeous! I have some pictures of the bridge as well. I'll have to pull them out of the archives one day for my travel blog. We also have some Chiluly glass in OKC (that's where I'm from originally). It's hard to photograph though, but you did an outstanding job. Just love those colors!
Weather permitting, I shall be in WA before spring. This time I'll try to make it to Tacoma.
Gorgeous shot Sheryl.
