The Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibit at Seattle Center is one of the must-see attractions in the city, but in the year I lived in Seattle I foolishly never made the time to go and visit it.

The exhibit runs until October 29, and if you have the opportunity to go and check it out, I highly recommend it.

Here are a few photos I took yesterday. Click on each thumbnail to view the full image!

While it wasn’t as bitterly cold as it was when I went last January, it still wasn’t particularly pleasant to wait outside in line for almost an hour and a half. But the cold and the lines and the crowded waiting room are totally worth it once you get inside the studio.
