Horizons...

Fresh off Acadia National Park this past weekend, which incidentally happens to be the amongst the first places on the US eastern seaboard to be graced with beautiful sunrises, notwithstanding cloudy weather of course. This set is our tribute to beautiful morning skies at Acadia!

 

Contrasts

Every once in a while, one comes across a place, or object of such beauty, that even the most jaded and cynical of us can be moved. The Salk Institute in San Diego recently commenced its 50th anniversary celebration with 'Chihuly at the Salk' - an exhibit of 8 of Dale Chihuly's glass sculptures, on the campus of the Louis Kahn designed institute. Though the Salk is a short walk from home, I had never visited it until now...but though Chihuly will leave, I expect to return quite a few times!

From the photography perspective, the starkness of the architecture provided the perfect backdrop for Chihuly's vibrant creations. I tried to highlight the architecture in some images, and the sculpture in others. It would have been easy to spend a day there, just taking pictures...I did what I could during the assigned 1-hour tour!
