This might be more appropriate for the "Nature and Landscapes" section,
but since the Frederik Meijer Gardens (external link) is also considered a travel destination,
I'm posting here.

I was visiting family a couple of weeks ago, and because of the Chihuly (external link) glass being
displayed, some of us visited Meijer Gardens to take it in.
Man alive, but his work is incredibly interesting and colorful!

Amazing stuff isn't it? His glass seems to blend with whatever terrain and foliage surround it.

Many of those same pieces were here at our Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix (last year IIRC) and they looked almost totally organic.

Nice Series of Images!

Thanks, Jay!

I loved seeing and shooting the pieces; Dale's vision is truly remarkable.

A couple more:

Jay, this one is FANTASTIC!

Very nice to see Chihuly works in different environments.

Seeing as I've titled my thread Chihuly art glass, why don't you go ahead
and post whatever you've got? I'd sure like to see more of Dale's work
within different environments, and I'm sure others will enjoy the different views.
