Most Favorite Place

My favorite place, so far, not only in Seattle, but probably almost anywhere is the Chihuly Glass and Garden Center.  It is a visual feast beyond comparison.  Dale Chihuly is a local glass artist who has left his mark not only here, but in many places around the world---Venice, Jerusalem, Ireland, etc.

His creations are unlike anything else anywhere, as is the man himself.  We sat through numerous video presentations about the different stages of his development as an artist.  To me, the sheer volume of the glass created is just overwhelming. 

Moving from one room, to another, one encounters a surprise even more magnificent than the one before, if that were possible.  The sculptures are like temples of light and color.  Let me include some here.

They speak for themselves.
