I didn't crank my neck for this one..I laid on the floor in an art museum. This is a Chihuly ceiling from an exhibit at the Kalamazoo Institute of Art. The top of the photo is actually the wall. Wouldn't mind a ceiling like this in my house!

I too have seen this beautiful Chilhuy ceiling; one has to be lying on the floor to appreciate it. I saw it in an exhibition in Tampa, Florida. Your capture is excellent and your choice for this theme, could not be improved upon, congratulations.
