Dancing Christmas Trees

Finals are quickly approaching and time to sit down and write another post has been scarce but I wanted to take a break from my paper writing and share some more about the Phipps Christmas Exibit.
The serpentine room has been set up with an overflow of Christmas trees. Each tree has been decorated with a specific theme that goes along with one of the dances from the Nutcracker; Spanish, Arabian, Chinese, Russian, Waltz of the Flowers and Merliton Flute. These pictures are from the daytime but I'm sure the trees look even better at night when the lights really pop.  My favorite was the Arabian dance tree because it had lots of peacock feathers on it which is something I never thought to decorate a tree with before.  Next to each large decorated tree was another smaller tree decorated all in white with plain white lights; not sure if that was supposed to represent something or just to add more light at night.

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy!
