Beautiful Sculpture
Wandering leads to all things beautiful.
Sonic Bloom is an LED sculpture at the entry
to the Seattle Pacific Science Center with a chorus of
color and sound. Interactive, movement
triggers the flowers to light up. See it here.

Beautiful Lighting
Designer David Graas recently released this great lighting object, a 3D-printed hood depicting a
sprouting city that fits on top of an LED bulb. Titled Huddled, the light comes in both a pendant and floor version and is available in his shop.
Beautiful Tunnel
Walking down the tunnel to catch the link rail
I never noticed the beautiful lighting before today.
Beautiful Photography + Art
This is stunningly beautiful Ball of Light.
A beautiful inspiring story; Denis Smith.
Implementing the photographic technique of light painting,
which uses a long camera exposure to capture moving light,
Smith creates luminous, life-size geometry. At night, and
typically when it is a full moon for the ideal effect,
Smith takes to the outdoors scouting locations with
dramatic landscapes and abandoned urban spaces.
The spheres are materialized by a constant swinging
and turning motion, which, when photographed,
become stationary glowing forms. The ephemeral
movements become lasting imagery embedded into
the camera. Smith drew much of his influence for the
project from the actual spherical shape, a significant
form throughout nature present in the sun
and planets which harness strength and power.
