We had a lovely day out at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens to see the Chihuly Glass Artwork Exhibition. The weather today was absolutely perfect considering we have had many really hot days here in Adelaide, but today was only about 28C, and the Gardens have many shady paths and trees and we enjoyed being outside getting some exercise.
The sculptures were really amazing and the sunshine added to their brightness and the background of the gardens made it really beautiful. We were surprised at the size of the sculptures and wondered how they were transported and displayed in the garden setting as they were huge. The display is also open at night and is meant to be even better than in the day so we might go again. There is an entry fee at night but I think it is reasonable and probably well worth the experience.

We didn't get around to all of the sculptures so hopefully we'll get back another day and I'll take my other camera to get some better shots as I have trouble seeing the screen on the phone in the bright sun.

I have heard of these beautiful glass sculptures and seen pictures of many, but some of these are new to me. If they have lights on these at night--OMG! That would be something to behold. I hope you go back. They have to be so much more impressive in person. Wow! :)
