Piling blocks

While channel-flipping tonight, I ran across a bit of docu about Dale Chihuly's installation in Jerusalem. I was enjoying the Dude! Excellent glass! feeling when they got to the good part. He brought in these massive - looked like about 6'x4'x4' - blocks of ice from Alaska and built a wall of them. Then he got them backlit and let them melt. It took three days.

I am just bowled over. It looked amazing, and there are so many symbolic layers to the thing. I <3 art.
