Our World - Jeju Glass Castle
As the name implies, this place is a fascinating theme park featuring over three hundred
and fifty items all made entirely of glass. These include the world’s very first all-glass
labyrinth, the world’s largest glass ball and largest glass diamond, a
glass stonewall, a mirror lake, multi-coloured instruments and a glass bridge. There are also glass art masterpieces by internationally famous artists from Italy, the Czech Republic, Japan, and more.
We had an enjoyable time here exploring all the lovely glass exhibits. It was fascinating to see how different coloured glass of different shapes and sizes were used to create lovely display of artworks. I love the vibrant colors in addition to the twists and turns of glass.
Some of the highlights of the exhibition include:
A glass beanstalk from “Jack and the Beanstalk” standing two-stories high in the museum’s exhibition hall.
The Glass Town which offers visitors a warm welcome. This stained glass exhibit depicts a calm rural place of Europe aglow with the setting sun.
a Magic Mirror Room where visitors can see one's own reflections. It was fun to observe yourself from different angles.
The Sea Story features aquatic life and incorporates more than 40 marine species and coral reefs.
Even small details are impressive like the colourful glass flowers with some greenery within the park.
Another unique artwork on display but I have no idea what it represents.
I have more photos coming soon so stay tuned!

Photohunt - Sculptures
I've seen a lot of magnificent sculptures while traveling to different countries and here are some of my favourites.
Beautiful sculpture of Saint Reparata, a Christian virgin and martyr at the central portal of Florence Cathedral in Italy.
A spectacular waterfall that features human divers at Dubai Mall.
A wonderfully sculpted piece at the Hofburg Castle in Vienna. The 'Power at Sea' fountain symbolizes the power of the Habsburg Empire.
Delicately carved sculpture featuring three playful cherubs holding up a shield at the Field of Miracles in Pisa Italy.
And here's Lady Justice in Salzburg. The devil beneath her feet certainly looks like he needs a good stomping!

PhotoHunt - Windows
Here are some of my favourite window collections found throughout Turkey.
A stained glass window as spotted at Istanbul Sirkeci Terminal
An exterior view of a lovely window from House of Virgin Mary at Ephesus.
Windows of a wonderfully designed metro train in Istanbul
A brilliantly-designed window at Hagia Sophia in Istanbul
And here is one corner of colourful collection of ceramic plates in a display window.
