Nice pics! Is that a Chihuly exhibit?

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Your glass photo is very striking with the dramatic reflections. I enjoy glass sculpture whenever there's a local show in our area, and I'd like to visit the Tacoma museum someday. I used to suggest that we visit in past years, but my wife doesn't care for Chihuly's work.

Not having been there, I wondered what the scale of the sculpture is. I looked at their website and was somewhat surprised at how large the display is. Thanks for posting it.

I like the ducks, too!

I also like Chihuly and the glass ceiling in the Bellagio casino in Las Vegas.

I love that glass ceiling! The first time I saw it, I just laid on a couch they had out there and stared at it for about 1/2 hour.
