“Chromatic Waves”
December 5th, 2024
a daily photo from joshua l. smith
On the day that we visited the Museum of Pop Culture, the sky was perfect; bright sunshine diffused through high and wispy clouds. The muted sunlight was perfect for capturing the golden hue on the metallic waves; there’s another hundred compositions that could be made off of this building.
So many of Chihuly’s sculptures resemble sea creatures, but this gigantic creation actually has small fish and shells and other aquatic life integrated into the design. This is the first large creation that you see as you take the tour of Chihuly Garden & Glass, and it is awe inspiring!
I absolutely loved photographing the Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle; but I would love to photograph any of Frank Ghery’s buildings!
I suppose at this point, I’m kind of known for my “reflection distorted in glass” photos, but I really love this one. The monochrome makes the textures and details really stand out, and I absolutely love the architectural elements of the building as well.
Fall into the Wall was the the best waterfall that we visited on our trip to Seattle. This waterfall is tucked in-between the East and West-bound traffic of Interstate 90 near Snoqualmie Pass. In fact, just out of the top of my photo is the eastbound traffic. Despite being within earshot of the interstate traffic, the setting was perfectly serene. The side road that offers this view is about 20 feet higher than the creek bed and offers wonderful views of the otherwise nearly inaccessible falls. If dusk had not been approaching, I would have stayed for far longer enjoying the horseshoe bend.
