Bridge of Glass, part 2

Dale Chihuly's Bridge of Glass, Tacoma, Washington
Tacoma, Washington ~ May 21, 2004

In December, I showed a detail of Dale Chihuly's Bridge of Glass, but this photo is more of an in situ shot. Here you can see that the fantastic blown glass shapes (mostly sea life) are resting on the clear ceiling with light provided by the sky above.

I agree with TheFrogBag... I've seen a lot of blown glass over the years, even been to many factories that make it, but this is the most creative use of blown glass I've seen.
