    While we were out in Seattle we went down to the Glass Museum in Tacoma. I have always been fascinated by the art of blowing glass and this place had a wonderful exhibit of Chihuly’s Glass. Here is a snap shot (sorry I am not a photographer) of one of the sections of the bridge of Chihuly’s

    It's an outdoor glass bridge with probably 100 different pieces.

    That's awesome, do you have one of the entire bridge?

    Ooo, I love Dale Chihuly. He is very talented. I went to see his glass when it was in Charlotte. They display it in a way that you have to be envolved with the glass. I love it.

    I took maybe 15 pictures looking up through the individual sections. Must have been 200 pieces all together

    We went as well. I have always been fascinated by the art of glass blowing. The folks at the museum said it takes a week and a half to make a relatively simple piece of glass
