It's the Great Pumpkin, Day 364


Stanford put up this massive display literally overnight. I was there yesterday and had to stop by again today and I found this. It's called the Glass Pumpkin Patch and it's huge. The base is covered with thousands of little glass baubles and there are probably 100 blown-glass pumpkins spread around, not to mention the 10+-foot sculptures in the middle. At first I thought it was kind of gaudy and insanely pretentious (it is Stanford Shopping Center, after all) but upon further inspection it's really pretty amazing. Good work, SSC!
