Dale Chihuly Persian Seaform Ceiling, OKC

Today I decided to post another image from the Chihuly exhibit at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. I really love the glass of Dale Chihuly. I love the amazing color & detail he brings to his art.
This is a section of the ceiling from a hallway that joins two rooms in the Museum. As I very often do, I combined several exposures to create a High Dynamic Range or HDR image that simply cannot be captured in any other way. You can see other images from the museum here.
Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory

In downtown Oklahoma City there is another wonderful botanical garden, the Crystal Bridge Tropical Conservatory & Myriad Botanical Gardens. The first image was taken inside the 220 foot long Crystal Bridge Conservatory that sits in the middle of the 17 acre botanical gardens. The Crystal Bridge is home to more than 1000 species of plants including everything from giant palms to hundreds of various orchids. On one end there is a Tropical Rain Forest Zone with various waterfalls & on the other is the Dry Tropical zone. The Conservatory includes plants from every continent except Antarctica. You can see the end of the Crystal Bridge in the second image taken from the gardens. (If you like beautiful gardens, also check out my Butchart Garden blog.)
