Without Lifting A Finger

Spent the night a stone's throw from Schipol, returned the car, got a nice welcome and send-off from Chihuly's marbles (wish I were a bigger kid than I am!). (The classy greeter -- made out of metals rods? -- I only met briefly as I made my way to the gate.) *             

OK, I lied. I have one more photo from Europa to post. A little American kitsch (famous pitchman) we almost always sit by in Schipol. Anyway, I figured he'd earned this. * 

Ran into his very cool "installation" (reminded me of giant marbles or candies) in Schipol Airport (Amsterdam) as we were heading to the rental car garage. *     *   Dale Chihuly (born September 20, 1941), is an American glass sculptor and entrepreneur. His works are considered unique to the field of blown glass, "moving it into the realm of large-scale sculpture," (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston). The technical difficulties of working with glass forms are considerable, yet Chihuly uses it as the primary medium for installations and environmental artwork.   [From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_Chihuly ]
