A Visit to Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle, Washington

What a magical place Chihuly Garden and Glass is. This was the highlight of our visit to Seattle, Washington and definitely rates on our "things not to miss" when in the city. The colors of the glass are just so vivid and the way that the pieces are displayed are jaw-dropping beautiful.



Inside the exhibition hall, you enter a world of spectacular colors. Large orbs of glass dot the bases of many displays while slender shafts rise towards the ceilings.

Massive towers of glass tentacles look so fragile as they grow from their earth-bound platforms.

In some places delicate chandeliers hang from above while in others plates of glass create a colorful ceiling for you to walk under.

Since the Chihuly Garden and Glass is located in the shadows of the Space Needle, one fun thing to try and photograph is the reflection of the Space Needle in the glass balls of the garden.
