After my twirl around Seattle’s giant, glowing, singing flowers, I am looking at a few other illuminated sights I’ve spotted on my travels. First up, the amazing illuminated Multiverse walkway at the National Gallery of Art in DC.
Here’s a bike taxi reflected in a pool of rainwater against the neon illuminations of New York’s Times Square.
Then there is the Chihuly glass flower ceiling at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, the epicentre of illumination.
Now it’s over to you to shed a little light on this week’s theme. If you would like to join in (everyone’s welcome!) here’s what to do:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Illuminated
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too

Lighten up!

Clever people master life; the wise illuminate it and create fresh difficulties. – Emil Nolde
There are two kinds of light — the glow that illumines, and the glare that obscures. – James Thurber
Where's my backpack? 
I’ll take the multiverse, please.

The glass flowers are really beautiful. My contribution is less poetic. A huge arena, coldly glimmering in the Swedish winter’s night: http://vackrare.com/2014/01/13/illuminated

Love this theme! I’m featuring illuminations from the morning sun, reflections on water and man-made illuminations with Christmas lights.

Hi Ailsa loving those floating glass flowers at the Bellagio ! Think the walkway would be quite something to see … wouldn’t be surprised if they had to have timed tickets 😉
