Letters to a friend...: Chihuly Glass under the snow in the Botanic Garden

About this blog:

We love traveling. We always capture tons of pictures from wherever we've been and we like sharing our traveling experiences with our friends. So, this is how this blog began - as short stories with pictures in an attempt to share where we've been and what we've seen. Even not stories , but just notes. Nothing serious and big. Mostly I'm writing these stories on a rush and sometimes even don't have time to re-read them. So, I apologize in advance for possible typos here and there. There can be some factual errors or inaccuracies and they even might be corrected one day. Don't hesitate to contact me if you find something that needs to be fixed and don't expect these notes to be a perfect novels ;) The stories in this blog are not in chronological order, but I will try to remember to put the date of the trip. So... welcome to this blog and, hopefully, you will find something interesting and have the same feeling we had when we were there. Let's go...

And... by the way... all pictures and texts in this blog are protected by International and USA Copyright laws, so if you'd like to repost or use something on your page - contact me first.

Chihuly Glass under the snow in the Botanic Garden

Chihuly Glass is an art. No doubts about that. It looks great anywhere but especially nice installed in the natural environment. We were so fortunate a few years back when Denver Botanic Garden had Chihuly's sculptures around for almost a year... Look here how nice the glass looks in combination with grass, flowers, leaves and how amazing it looks at night... click here - Chihuly in Botanic garden

A couple weeks after I got these night shots the snow covered the ground and changed everything. So I had a good reason to come back to the Botanic Garden and take a few more pictures with a completely different mood and appearance...

It wasn't good weather actually. Gloomy and the snow was still falling from the sky... But it helped to capture the different state of Chihuly's art... Not the bright and shiny surfaces and rich colors, but faded and kinda blended with the surroundings...

Honestly, I enjoyed every minute I was there, wandering around and looking at the glass plants growing from the snow covered earth...

Walking there, looking around, at some point I figured out I cannot make any big difference between the real plants and glass ones... I know, those made by Dale Chihuly won't fade with the time and look brighter even under the snow... they are blending with the real once so nicely... it was some kind of magic, I guess...
