This room is a continuation of the Native American theme with canoes filled with glass balls. The whole exhibit is on black glass so the reflections are exquisite.
Chihuly Garden and Glass

Chihuly Garden-Space Needle
If you go to Seattle–GO to the Chihuly Garden–do not stop–it’s breathtaking! And as you can see most of it is under a roof or a big glass atrium with view of the space needle. Today it was raining so the glass had streaks going thru it. Made for a different shot than I have captured in the past.
Chihuly Garden and Glass
This portion of the exhibit was inspired my Native American baskets. He wove “threads” into the glass and let the shape resemble baskets that have flopped and caved in on the sides.
A week of the Chihuly Gardens
(Sorry there was a Glitch in my feed–THANKS to those of you who contacted me to let me know! ALSO, my father in law is out of the hospital and doing well. I appreciate all you sweet thoughts and notes)
The Chihuly Gardens near the space needle in Seattle are simply STUNING!
If you ever have the chance to go–GO!
The Seattle Great Wheel– pier 57
Two of Seattle’s iconic landmarks- The Great Wheel (where you can even have dinner from Fisherman’s restaurant on your private gondola), and the Space Needle.
Seattle waterfront
This was taken from the Bainbridge Island Ferry just before docking at Coleman Dock in Seattle.
Olympic Iliad-Olympic Sculpture Park
Alexander Liberman’s Olympic Iliad, orange-red painted steel sculpture, installed in 1984 on the lawn southwest from the Space Needle. In the background is the famous Space Needle painted the original “Galaxy Gold” for it’s 60th birthday celebration.
I like the way people are seated all around the various sculptures found in this Seattle Park.
