This previous post included many shots from a visit to the Chihuly Museum in Seattle.  In that post I mentioned how it closed around the time it was getting dark and that a return trip during the winter would be in order.  With my mum visiting at Christmas, that’s exactly what we did.  We timed our visit to be later in the day so we would be there once the sun set.

The transition from light to dark brought a lot of options in the gardens.  Not everything was illuminated so some elements were okay while there was some light remaining but then were gone while others were only gently illuminated and only really showed the effects well once dark was fully upon us.  The view back to the museum was also interesting as it changed and I did go back inside often to see how the move from external to internal lighting affected the glass works on display in there.  Hopefully these shots give you a sense of how things look as darkness descends.
