That looked like a pretty interesting link, lots of beautiful things to see. Very unusual. I'll have to sign me up. Used to check out things there and went a couple of times for other things, Butterfly exhibit for one, just forgot about that place. Sometimes they have some interesting things

For what it's worth there Stan, I didn't see it right off either Ditto D'oh !! Almost Pm'd U Diane... My brain must be not hitting on all cylinders these days. Thanks for pointing it out.

I signed up and reserved my ticket. Seems going back to school has paid off as I got the student rate on admission. See you there.

I'm going to check to see if I have that date open. I've seen his work in one of the hotels in Vegas. It's amazing!

I went there on Monday after dark. I have posted some pictures in the gallery. You might want to not see them to maintain the element of surprise ...but if you must -- Enjoy!

Personally - I has a hard time taking pictures -- the images are very contrasty due the way they have been illuminated. Also, some of the deep colors and delicate details wash out at night. IMHO, best time to see them is late evening when you have warm light as well enough ambient illumination to see the details in the glass. But seeing them illuminated make for a different perspective.

I am looking forward to see it again in a different light!!!!

Great Ambika! Now I am gonna have to go at night too! Did any one see the show on Chihuli on 8? It was cool! It showed his works in Kew Gardens. It will be cool to see them in desert landscaping as opposed to such lush tropical/ornamental surroundings.
