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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

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

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

    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.
