Wordless Wednesday

April 24, 2007

The lobby of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York City.
Here’s another shot so that you can see the chandelier in “context”:

My favorite comment of the day came from autofocused:
“I’m not cleaning that.”
Thanks for making me snort lemonade up my nose
when I read that, Chris!
(That’s what my mother would have said, too,
only she would have put it this way:
“I’m not cleaning all the dinger-dangers on that thing!”)

12 Sue 04.24.07 at 5:27 pm: Swanky! Love it, but where in the old homestead would I hang it??? Have a terrific week, and happy WW!
13 Comedy + 04.24.07 at 5:45 pm: This could be an upscale dining establishment. Okay, that’s what it’s going to be for me. I want to sit rith underneath the chandalier during dinner. Great shot.

15 Linda 04.24.07 at 6:17 pm: Hmmm, Carnegie Hall by any chance?
16 anyhowblogs 04.24.07 at 7:28 pm: Hmm. If only I had something like that in my home.
17 Patois 04.24.07 at 8:22 pm: I’d never have a house that would befit that. In fact, I don’t believe I’ve ever been in a hotel worthy of that.
18 Stine 04.25.07 at 1:21 am: Wow! And even better in context! Thanks for the visit - I’ve added your link.
19 Write From Karen 04.25.07 at 4:53 am: Dinger-dangers!! LOL

That is absolutely gorgeous! I want to go to New York! Waah!
20 elasticwaistbandlady 04.25.07 at 5:25 am: We just saw the Cirque Du Soleil performance of Corteo. Now, whenever I see a chandelier, it looks like somethings missing if there aren’t people dancing and dangling perilously from them.

Happy WW!
21 Barbara H. 04.25.07 at 6:39 am: Just gorgeous! But I agree with the comment about cleaning it!
22 Janne 04.25.07 at 7:08 am: Wow! I could just see my boys swinging from that!
23 Rosemarie 04.25.07 at 7:42 am: I was born in NY! The Big Apple does everything bigger and better.

Pearls of wisdom…a heavenly voice.

27 Sandy Carlson 04.25.07 at 9:29 am: I’d like to stand inside the thing.
28 Nell 04.25.07 at 10:46 am: Oh wow…beautiful!
29 impworks 04.25.07 at 1:32 pm: Imagine cleaning it. Putting it all back up and someone comes up to you and says: “Missed a bit.”
30 Denise Patrick 04.25.07 at 1:47 pm: I agree with autofocused!! But, then again, I suppose if you can afford a chandelier like that you can also probably afford to pay someone to clean it!
31 crissybug 04.25.07 at 2:23 pm: What a beautiful chandelier! It reminds me of the one on Beauty and the Beast!

I love the music! How awesome that you got to play at Carnegie Hall! I play the violin, but haven’t got to play as much as I used to. You are so blessed. I am jealous…my dream is to someday play in an Orchestra. It is just an amazing feeling to be a part of something that makes such beautiful music!
32 She-Schenker 04.25.07 at 7:14 pm: I love chandeliers!
(Probably because I don’t have to clean them!)
=))
33 anyhowblogs 04.26.07 at 11:25 pm: The answer to this week’s WW Guess-It is out! Head on down and see if you got it right!
34 Marcia 04.27.07 at 8:25 am: It is beautiful, but I’m not walking under it, seen too many fall - in the movies.
35 eph2810 04.29.07 at 11:05 pm: Wow - this is a breath-taking chandelier.
Thank you for sharing.
