Some photos

These are posted primarily for SuoMies, who probably won't see them unless Saara tells him to look. These photos are of the two chandelier sculptures by Dale Chihuly that hang in Benaroya Symphony Hall in Seattle. The sculptures are entitled Crystal Cascade.

Anyway, straying from my usual best-for-last tendencies, I felt compelled to open with the spiral detail above. That was the best one. In general, my shots were limited by the fact that the pieces were hanging way up above me and in front of giant windows.

Now let's back up a little for some more detail shots. Click on them to see better.

I like the color on that last one but I took it in a hurry and so the composition is a bit off. All of these were taken at the same time of day and in the same lighting. It's amazing how different things look depending on your camera settings.

I didn't get good detail shots of the second chandelier, but the details look so different between the chandeliers I want to show you anyway.

And now we back up some more so that you can see the general shape of the two sculptures. I wish there had been a better vantage point from which to take these.
