Pretty city.
No accounting for taste. Public art in this city don't add up.
The Chihuly glass sits in the corner, in a court yard, across a reflection pool, next to rather ordinary highrise condominium. The dozen or more pieces are a treasure. The anthesis of the artisan in the industrial age. If the price of the collection was not enough, an enormous glass and steel showcase would certainly shatter the budget. Notwithstanding the high power notoriety it contains, the emotion it evokes is a dim bulb lit as a note to self drops in the basket. Colourful.

New construction in this city, like mushrooms, pop up over night. A recent development, the stainless steel caught my eye. Dispatched to drag off on this trail. Restaurant equipment praying for a bus.

I love a lot of Chihuly pieces. Blown glass can be very evocative. Some of the chandeliers are amazing. So delicate, so colourful, so gigantic. But that piece on Bute St. really does nothing, does it? Nothing but a name. A lot of the pieces down at the park at Beach Ave are just funny. And that piece floating in the water? Where is it? Down beach, east of the Granville St Bridge, left over from Expo. You know the one? I do like the little rocket ship over by Granville Island, though. I'd like to put a space suit on and do a pinup shoot sitting on top of that thing. That'd be fun. I wonder if I'd get arrested.
