Blue Sky Art Show, theme 'Glass'

photographyJul 25, 202638620,026

Today's Blue Sky Art Show theme is Glass, a community prompt asking contributors to feature glass, reflections, and glasslike surfaces. Entries emphasize reflections and architectural glazing, close-up nature studies, and historical stained glass, with many photos edited for monochrome mood or long exposures. Concrete gallery pieces include a sunrise over Colpoy's Bay where the water 'looks like glass,' two people admiring the Persian Ceiling at Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle, and a glass-wing butterfly photographed in Mindo, Ecuador. Look for cathedral windows patched back together at Winchester Cathedral, a curved atrium at the Museum of Liverpool, and experiments making The Shard look otherworldly.

Gaudi is the best but may I sing the praises of the Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau, designed by the Catalan architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. It's near the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia

VdS22

More than ever, with the completion of his “Sagrada familial” church in 2026! His instructions were that it should not be higher than what god created… the church is slightly lower than the Montjuic hill, dominating Barcelona!

One of my two top cities in the world. The other is Edinburgh.

Gaudi is the greatest architect ever. I just love his stuff, it combines form and function so beautifully as to make buildings seem to be part of nature and have grown out of it organically. I love his stuff so much.

Visited Casa Battló 2 years ago. Had seen it in pictures but couldn't believe it was real. Absolutely amazing. Barcelona is a wonderful city. Hope to return when Sagrada Familia is almost finished.

“Only in still waters do things reflect undistorted.” -Anne Brown 🍂 #BlueSkyArtShow #glass #reflection #sky #Photography #clouds #trees #Stunday

Looking over the Thompson River in the Interior of British Columbia, on a cold autumn morning. The sky is blue with large clouds, and there are dark mountains and gold trees in the distance. There’s a perfect mirror image reflecting on the water, making it look like glass.

A yellowy orange sky is reflected on the glass-like surface of a lake at sunset. Part of an island and the shoreline are also reflected in the calm lake.

Nice to have both but water is definitely the source of life - for us at least.

Mr. Richard Lennox2

Serendipity that I saw this just now. I was just having a conversation about the tension between public duty and private needs. And that's Auden's jam.

A man and woman look up and admire the Persian Ceiling at Chihuly Garden and Glass. Light shines down through hundreds of brightly colored pieces of hand-blown glass, making pretty patterns on the wall.

⬛️ ⬜️ #classicmono #eck Modern glass infill at Chichester Rents, a medieval passageway off Chancery Lane owned by the Bishops of Chichester from 13th to 15th C. On the right, a lost pub of London. The Three Tuns called its final last orders in 1987, and is now a coffee shop. #blueskyartshow #glass

Black and white photograph of Chichester Rents enclosed alleyway with a glass infill structure linking the two buildings either side of it. The area has undergone several redevelopments, with the neighbouring buildings retaining their Victorian shells but their facades are not entirely original - they were reworked in the late 1980s in keeping with the era.

#Alphabetchallenge #WeekCForCurves #BlueskyArtShow #Glass The curved atrium at the Museum of Liverpool a couple of weeks ago

A black and white photo looking directly up towards a large circular window in the ceiling of The Museum of Liverpool.
Where I was stood was under the white walled spiraling stairway that looks like a flowing ribbon.
It's an amazing example of architecture and also good for arty farty photos 😁

I found this art deco-esque bldg entrance in Cologne. The glass reflected the opposite side of the street, creating some interesting shapes. #Glass #ArtYear #ArtShow #Photography #EastCoastKin #PhotographersUnited #artchallenges #g+circle #iPhonePhotography #PhotographersofBluesky #BlueSkyArtShow

Color photo of a glassy-winged blue dasher dragonfly perched on the tip of a dried up flower stem with its long tail and body raised up over its head so it looks like it’s doing a handstand.

#BlueskyArtShow #Glass A leaded glass window of glass disks and engraving spotted in an Istanbul mosque. #ECK #Istanbul #WindowsOnWednesday #Mosque #Window

A vertical rectangular window that is made of stacked glass disks (like the bottom of a bottle or wine glass) that are leaded. Rectangular strips of glass that have black etching of flowers and leaves form the border. The glass has a slight golden reflection from whatever is behind it. The top row is clear in color.

I love crown-glass windows. I'm fascinated by the technique for making the disks, and such windows figure prominently in my favorite painting, van Eyck's "Annunciation" (which may be where my fascination started). Thanks for this fine example.

AnnaLois1

Love this Alina! So decorative 😊

Sure beats what I saw at the Van Gogh museum in Arles. Yup it's urine
