Photo Hunters: Twisted

Today’s Photo Hunters scavenger hunt is twisted!
We went to the Turning Stone Casino, built by the Oneida Indian Nation of Upstate New York, Thursday night. My daughter and I attended the first annual colloquium of the new Alexander Hamilton Institute, founded by several liberty-minded professors at Hamilton College. We had a wonderful time! You can read all about our visit here. It was very exciting! There is a new movement blossoming in our universities– and we are very excited to see it!
After the dinner and meeting, we wandered the resort a little. I snapped a photo of the Tree of Peace, an enormous “tree” made of twisted glass. The lights shone on it and illuminated the entire room.
The twisted glass sends sparkles of light throughout the room.
This one was a tough one to fill this week. I’ve seen several scavengers and the results are very creative! I haven’t seen anyone do one on how twisted lipovox is, but the day is young…

This is the coolest thing I’ve seen all morning. Of course, it’s only 9:30
Seriously, though. We live nowhere near upstate New York, but this really makes me want to go. Very cool.

I clicked over to your Flickr account to read more about the tree. Very cool.
It almost looks like a captured explosion.
Perfect picture for this theme!

That glass sculpture is gorgeous! Chihully is such a talented artist, and I love how his glass looks so organic.

@ Mrs. Mecomber – I didn’t quite make it to 11:59, but at 6:58, I’m giving you the day.
Great pics on Flickr, too!

That sculpture is amazing!! I would love to advertise on your Entrecard, but you cost 2048 credits! holy cow! I can’t afford you
Mrs. Mecomber on Sat, 12th Apr 2008 7:12 pm
I’m sorry Elizabeth. I didn’t price it like that! It’s all the Entrecards guys’ fault!!! I’ll gladly exchange widgets with you, if you’d like.
Bob, dude!!! Thank you thank you! I am deeply honored, really!
