The Sealife Tower:
15 feet full of all your favorite youthful beach memories.
(At least, that's how I saw it.)
The Glasshouse:
An immersive ceiling display (100 feet in length) fitted with a massive array of
blown glass sculptures; undoubtedly the star of the show.
Chihuly himself described the entire viewing experience as a sort of "underwater" feel.
It certainly does make you feel as if you're drifting away into a dream sequence.
Mille Fiori:
From the Italian for "a thousand flowers". It's not hard to see why.
Chandelier Series #1:

Right: a reflection of the sculpture in the polished black glass
placed underneath it.
Chandelier Series #2:
Left: a view of the sculpture taken from directly underneath it.
Right: a portrait view. I never would've imagined such a drastic design difference resulting from a mere change in perspective.
The Macchia Series: named after the Italian word for "spotted".
This exhibit in particular utilized the vast range of possible glass blowing
color palettes in a far more copious manner.
Enter the garden...
In an effort to complement nature, Chihuly and his talented team of glass blowers have created some pretty mind-blowing spectacles. Compared to the in-person experience,
I don't think any photos could ever do these sculptures justice.
As always, shot in manual using the native camera app on my LG V20.
