"Glass in nature"

Photo courtesy of Jim Bougher. Yesterday's picture featured a gorgeous view of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania skyline, and as luck would have it today's picture by photographer Jim Bougher features a rather intriguing scene from Pittsburgh's Phipps Conservatory. What you're looking at is part of a "Blown Glass" exhibit that is on permanent display at the Conservatory. And as you can see here, when modern art meets nature the result can be quite striking.     Visitor Comments... Name: Bill Hawthorne Town: Phoenix, AZ Quite intriguing indeed. I would never have conceived such a concept myself, but it surely works, and works well. Great job in capturing such a beautiful image Mr. Bougher!     Name: June Wheeler Town: Cincinnati, OH When I was growing up in Latrobe, our family visited Pittsburgh often and I still travel up there several times a year to visit family and friends. I have never been to the Phipps Conservatory, but after seeing this wonderful photograph I plan to check it out on my next visit.     Name: Phyllis Helton Town: Bristol, VA WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!   Comment on today's picture  |  View previous "Pictures Of The Day"  |  Submit a photo Why I publish the "Picture Of The Day"
