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.

Oregon Beaver

Beaver Art on Driftwood
Astoria, Oregon ~ September 30, 2005

I found this very cool wood-burned driftwood at an estate sale here in Astoria. Somebody had more than average talent. It looks like an old engraving or a book illustration. The date above is when I took the photos, which was near the time I bought the piece. Unfortunately, I sold it on eBay, and it was probably one of the dumber things I've done; for what I got, I should have kept it. At least I have the photos.

Beaver Art on Wood There must be a story here, but I'll probably never know what it is. A pop-top hanger. Nice touch.

Hippo in the Sand

Seattle, Washington ~ May 5, 2008
Woodland Park Zoo

I almost stumbled on this sculpture before I saw it. Then it took me a minute to realize what it was. Very cool, very creative. I love this sculpture! And real hippos are only a few paces away.
