Cambridge, Ontario - We discovered this great town when we were looking for a place to stop for the night. We felt like we were transported to a European city.
Frank Lloyd Wright - Marin House Complex, Buffalo, New York
We were not allowed to photograph the inside. It has interesting features such as the four interior columns that carry the weight of the building so it can have large walls of windows.
It also had a wonderful open area when first entered that was very inviting.

Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York is the world's largest museum of glass. The collection spans 35 centuries of glass from ancient to contemporary including over 40,000 pieces of glass. They also have glass making demonstrations and a center that shows modern industrial uses of glass.
Photographing glass is challenging in the best of circumstances. Some of the most exciting pieces did not translate well in my photographs so I did not include them.
Most of the pieces in the contemporary exhibition are monumental in size and display a true mastery of the glass material.
There were hundreds of pieces in the contemporary collection.

A few items from the historical collection at the Corning Museum of Glass - there were TENS of thousands of items in this collection. They often had hundreds of samples for every period of history up to the present. The collection was huge and filled room upon room upon room. I can understand the claim that it is the largest glass collection in the world.
