Glass

It's been almost two weeks since the last time I posted an entry here. There were a lot of activities at work and there was an important family matter we needed to attend to the past week. All is good.

I missed blogging and blog hopping. I welcome the long weekend. It's a holiday on Monday in commemoration of Araw ng Kagitingan (Day of Valor) in honor of the heroes of Bataan and Corregidor.

My first post after a semi-hiatus is an entry to Photo Hunt, all about glass. I have these pictures since last year when we went to Baguio's Botanical Garden. These glasses were part of the artwork of the members of the Baguio National Arts Club. I am just not sure what they are, what they represent but they look good. I guess my pictures do not justify how they really look. Anyhow, these are my entries for this week's PH theme.

Amazing! I love the cultural diversity of such a challenge.

Lynn said...

DRAGONHEART, They caught my interest too when I first saw them.

JAMS, Yes, they even thought of that. :)

Lynn said...

MRSNESBITT, So true that's why I love going around photo hunters. :)

That's a good example of glass well used. I thought at the first glance that it is some environmentalist's work. Cool.

Have a great weekend.

joan said...

Lynn said...

SNOOOPYTHEGOON, Maybe that was the intention. I wasn't able to ask actually. :)

JOAN, Thanks!

NAPABOANIYA, And the artists are quite patient in putting all these bottles one by one.

SANNI, JERSEY, Thanks!

Very unique shots. I don't think we have anything like this in our country. (=

Lynn said...

PELFY, Artists have their own way of interpreting things I guess.

mama meji said...

Interesting. I cannot recall seeing those the last time I was in Baguio.

Lynn said...

MAMA MEJI, They were actually inside
Botanical Garden last year when we visited.

Aileni said...

There seem to be endless permutations for glass - apart from the alchohlic one. I kep getting reminded of similar things I have seen.
Nice take. Enjoy your weekend blogging.

What an ingenious way to decorate the walls and express one artistry at the same time. Never seen anything like it before.

Hootin' Anni said...

Love the glass artwork!!! [and I like your rose background for your blog too. hehehehe]

My 'glass' is shared, I sure hope you can find time to drop by for a visit if you haven't already.

Happy Saturday to you, and happy hunting!!!

I have seen a house made out of bottles in Victoria (Oz) but that doesn't match this art work. Wonderful choice.

Dragonstar said...

Makes a very interesting wall. Do you think the bottles can be replaced if they break? I like your shots.

Huey said...

Wow. Artwork always make places look great. I like the way they use the glasses.

Gellianne said...

Real artistic!

Mica said...

Beautiful glasses!

david mcmahon said...

What a unique take on the theme.

Daisy said...

They look so pretty from the one side, and then from the other you can see it's old bottles! I guess almost everything looks beautiful in the right light.

Rebecca said...

Neat!

pat said...
