We were quite fortunate to have had Dale Chihuly's Glass in the Garden exhibit at the Missouri Botanical Gardens from May 2006-Jan. 2007. Some 950,000 visitors saw the exhibit. Three of his collections were added as permanent attractions to the Gardens. I have chosen an image of the Blue Chandelier which hangs in the atrium as you enter the Gardens. I have processed this image in High Dynamic Range as I am increasingly captivated by the tonal and contrast highlights that this process gives. The other two exhibits that are at the Gardens are the Walla Wallas (onions, that are shown in the fountain pools at select times of the year) and the Herons which are on exhibit year round in the Climatron. For more information on Dale Chihuly please check out his website. He is a multifaceted and talented man.
