I got to go to New York City and see the Guggenheim Museum again. Such an amazing and beautiful building!

I was at a concert by the Stamford Symphony Orchestra at the Palace Theater. The ceiling!! The chandelier was huge, perhaps eight feet across. I love old buildings and architecture.

Just because it’s been so dark outside, thought you’d like to see a photo of a chandelier to light up your world. How’d you like that in your dining room?

My BFF and I went to the new Chihuly museum in the city center in Seattle. I wasn’t expecting to like it all that much, but it was wonderful. This photo is a tourist being blown away by the remarkable glass sculpture ceiling, filled with sea-creature-and-flower-like forms. I like the light shadows on the walls almost as much as the sculptures.

Visit Shadow Shot Sunday 2, Ruby Tuesday 2, Straight out of the Camera Sunday and Monday Mellow Yellows. I love this image and I’m calling it my Best Post of the Week. Have a great day and come back soon.

Not too long ago I was in an interesting living room in Seattle. Besides lots of cushion seating, there was this pattern of fabric on the high ceiling. I loved it.

You might enjoy a visit to  Ruby Tuesday 2 and Mellow Yellow Monday, but browse around here first, why don’t you?

This ceiling was in a strip mall Chinese restaurant in Northern California, in Santa Rosa. The food was quite nice, but I think the ceiling was really memorable. It seemed like a stage set, or somehow underwater like jellyfish. My hat is off to the people who dreamed this one up and set it up.

Visit Ruby Tuesday 2, Color Carnival and Pink Saturday for lots more color fun. Click on Sara’s Fave Photos to see the whole blog here first, if you have a moment. Actually, it might take you more than a moment, because I’ve realized that I’ve now posted over 1,000 photos here. I amaze myself!

Las Vegas is so great on so many levels, and especially to those of us who love travel but can’t quite fit a European jaunt into the budget lately. Since I had to go there for a conference in November, I certainly appreciated the art and architecture, even if it’s all faux. Lovely anyway. The Venetian Hotel has lots to like for people who miss Italy like me.

Visit Mellow Yellow Monday for more splashes of yellow, and Shadow Shot Sunday for more neat shadows. And don’t forget to check out the new photos at Free Photos, next door.

I hope this is OK for Flowers for Today as they are only sort of flowers, but what an effect! On Friday I went to the Northwest Garden Show in Seattle. This might be the show’s last year, and there were scads and scads of people, even on a Friday. I thought I’d show the giant “flowers” from the show entry. These were at least 15 feet (5 meters) across, maybe bigger. They were enormous and so beautiful! Kudos to the people who created them.
