A view of just one of the dozen (or more) ornately decorated Christmas trees at Cheekwood Mansion in Nashville, TN. The spruce tree is accented with silver and gold branches, leaves, multiple sizes of glass ornaments in matte, shiney, translucent, and clear finishes in multiple shades of blue. Ornaments are spherical, teardrop-shaped, bejeweled, and engraved oblong glass. Blue ribbons wind their ways between branches. The background is of the blue painted walls of the cabinets holding the family's Sterling silver serving items, several of which are visible in the shelves. ###

The season's gone, but some of the beauty of the museum lives on.

A view of an onion-shaped whiskey still wine port at Heaven's Door Distillery, deep in the hills and hollers of Pleasureville, KY USA. This enclosure looks more like a deep sea diving helmet or a diving bell where faces might look back through the glass shield. Heavy glass is placed front and rear allowing distillers a view from two vantage points. The windows are spotted with droplets of distillate. The glass reflects exterior lighting and tubing. The interior view ripples slightly with distortion of real and reflected images between the two windows. The copper is tarnished brown after months of heat. The polished steel frame of the window seal is a mix of rainbow stains of intense heating, light reflected from exterior windows and softer colors of the wooden interior. Steel, plastic, and copper tubing is visible in the surrounding spaces and behind the globe. Below and out of view, the copper still sits alongside two others at the front of the barn. Pots sit at ground level. Their distilling towers rise past this second story walkway amidst stainless steel piping hung in endless runs and coils snaking through the airspace. Mash bins fill the middle of the building left and out of view. # # #

A large onion bulb shaped lamp base finished in turquoise glaze sits to the left and fills more than half of the frame. It reflects every light within reach from ceiling fixtures to its own light and shade. The ceiling lamps distort into round poppy like blossoms. Rounded shadows paint the wall and table. The right-hand view shows a 30-degree slice of the wood grained table top intersecting the canvas-like texture of the wallpaper. A shadow arches like a bridge across the wallpaper. ###

Title: Light Smoke The photo is a monochrome image of an artistic hlass light fixture. The fixture is an open metal octagonal frame. Eight individual glass panes line the frame. They offer more of a shield to the light bulbs, only partially enclosing them in open space. Each plate is artfully blended with opaque glass that guve the appearance of dense plumes of spoke were frozen into each pane. © David B.
