Flame of Liberty

This is the top section of the Flame of Libery, a 21 foot tall glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly.  We visited the National Libery Museum while we were in Philadelphia. 

The Museum Educator who led our tour told us that the Museum sees a difference between Freedom and Libery.  Freedom is the ability to do whatever you want.  Liberty is the freedom to do what you want within the guidance and stability of laws - it is what makes our society work. (My words and summation).
