I had a chance to visit Phipps Conservatory a couple weeks ago. I thought I'd share a photo of a cool glass sculpture they had hanging from the main dome at the entrance. This thing was huge and very interesting. I have no idea how they got it up there.

Its also a bit of a test for me. I've been battling with DPP software that keeps printing my photos dark. I wanted to see if my exports to the internet would turn out any better. C&C welcome

Thanks It was a very stunning place to visit. Lots of gorgeous flowers and a lot of glass artworks. This is a shot of some glass artworks. I think they were called Longfellows.

The first one sure looks like a work by Dale Chihuly. We have seen his work several times and he is a genius.

And... As to how they got it up there... CAREFULLY!
