Kew Gardens, London

Theresa and I went to the Royal Botanical Gardens at a place called Kew over the week-end. It's a beautiful set of gardens and a research centre located on the edge of London. At the moment there is a big glass exhibition by an artist called Dale Chihuly. His works are very organic looking and have been integrated into the plant areas spectacularly. In fact the day became more a 'hunt for the glass things' than a 'look for the rare trees'! All good fun though.


What made it even more spectacular was all of the trees turning as Autumn arrives. Stunning....


With the sun behind this glass 'sun' it looks pretty moody. This sructure is about 3m above theground and probably 2m across!


A gondola filled with glass shapes, floating on a lake with lots of glass balls in it. Garish, but also spectacular.


One of the many organic shapes in among the plants. Green is my favourite colour as well.
