Tonight my brother, his wife, and I are going to the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx to see the Chihuly Nights exhibit. We were hoping to go early afternoon and walk around in the light, and then see it at night when the sculptures were illuminated. Sadly, that's not possible ... unless you buy two tickets. Needless to say we are just doing the night one.
There are two glass installations through the park, so we'll be covering a lot of ground. The web site says "On CHIHULY Nights, the exhibition is infused with a magical energy as the artworks are spectacularly illuminated amid NYBG’s sweeping vistas and magnificent Conservatory. After sunset, the atmosphere is thrilling: experience the heightened drama and luminous quality of Dale Chihuly’s colors and forms when lit under the evening sky."
I'm not sure if this is the garden I was to previously. I thought there was only one in the Bronx. Elaborate gardens are not what one thinks of when they think of the Bronx.
We are still leaving here at about 1 and going to Little Italy in the Bronx—Arthur Avenue. My brother is quite the foodie. Actually I could be too, but my roomie is stuck in the bad food 1963 rut. We will have a cooler in the car.
Hopefully I get one decent picture.
