Stunningly beautiful!  I had to click and save them all in a folder along with all our Boston pics.  You caught so many beautiful angles and images.  Thanks a million, Andrew!  :-*

I guess photography is a hobby of yours? With so many phantastic pictures, they can't all be lucky shots.
The glass art, and they way you captured it, are both awesome.






The detail view in front, and the whole thing as reflection - perfect!

Thanks again for sharing. Like Meryl, I saved quite some of them to my harddrive.


It amazes me time and time again, what talented people we have. Photographers, writers, some can do beautiful computer art (photoshop), musicians, and so on. You know they say everybody has a talent. They longer I'm here, the more sure I am that's true.

Your photos are out-of-this-world spectacular, Andrew!

The glass art is amazing, and so is your photography - truly.

Thank you so much for posting them!

Beautiful photos! I love that cactusy thing.

I went to a Chihuly exhibit about 10 or 12 years ago -- and took my two then-preschool age sons. A terrifying experience!

Is it just me, or does someone else see the sexual attractions. Never thought I would say something like that about glass.  :o ;D Sorry Andrew! :-*

If anyone wondered, its the female vagina.

I can't quite figure out this one:



I find it beautiful and intriguing, that's why I put it on the banner. But I can't make out what it is supposed to depict. It looks like something from outer space. The Birth of the Purple Planet, that' how I would call it. It looks more like the demise of something, a planet, a water melon, a basket, but I like the idea of creation more than the idea of demise. So I'll stick with Birth of the Purple Planet. 8)
