Somehow we've not visited London for a couple of years. Hmmm...not sure why. <br /><br />I love the Chihuly. I have a story about his work. When I worked as a consultant, I had a law firm as a client. The managing director of the firm loved to keep me waiting in the lobby (I didn't mind--I charged from the time of the appointment!). In his lobby was a magnificent piece of glass--a bowl that was one color inside and another outside. It had the most delicate rim of yet another color, and was deformed as if it were melting. It was absolutely gorgeous. Next to it was a small booklet about the artist. It was, of course, Dale Chihuly. Shortly thereafter he had a big exhibition at the Corcoran and I got to see it all. I've been a huge fan of his ever since. Thank you, Mr. Lawyer! <br /><br />I love the photos here. The light is magnificent. <br /><br />I need to get back to London.Kate at Serendipityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020909094072158951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307076737291827178.post-10658552680128181522010-01-27T09:11:28.984-05:002010-01-27T09:11:28.984-05:00I love it when you share photos of your travels, g...I love it when you share photos of your travels, giving us a glimpse of worlds far away.
