three icads and a bit about skyspace

This morning, we got up at 5:00 to head over to see James Turrell’s Skyspace: The Way of Color at Crystal Bridges. It’s hard to explain what this is exactly…but the artist has created this bunker type building with an opening at the top. In summer, they open it for sunrise about once a month, but it is open every evening for sunset.

What happens is that the colors of the sky and the colors of lights inside blend to put on a grand show.

The colors are so vivid and spectacular and ranged from burnt sienna to pink to purple to blue to green to turquoise, etc.

It was definitely worth getting up at 5:00 on a Saturday!!

Here are some icads to catch me up. Until tomorrow….
