I don't know, Peter, I think the title's quite appropriate.

Yeah, but there's also something they have in common. Trying to be too clever, I guess:-)

Wild. Makes me think of a jellyfish.

And yes, I think the title pretty much sums it up.

Wild it is! Funny thing is, I walked past this shot a couple of times, paying attention only to the Chihuly. And so does everybody else. This is right in the lobby, with hundreds filing though and snapping pictures!

The title is great and so is the photograph! Did you get any closer pictures of the glass?

Thank you!
I did, and may post some later, though I think they're nowhere near as good as this.

I like the title and the picture. I was interested so I had at look at www.chihuly.com and there’s the picture of this chandelier from a different angle and full length. I thought wow when I saw your shot, but WOW! I am putting this on my list of things to see when I visit London soon. Thanks for the inspiration Peter.

Thanks Ian, and you're welcome!

To avoid disappointment: most of the pieces shown on the Chihuly website (if not everything except the chandelier) were at the V&A only temporarily. And some of the shots were not publicly accessible (such as from behind the cash register:-) Plenty of other stuff though - an eclectic collection!
