Once confined to large, lavish spaces, chandeliers were traditionally all about opulence, symbols of success hanging overhead in visions of crystal, gold and silver. Today's designs reflect more surprising and eclectic ideas - but in their whimsical twinkling, there's still a nod to the old magic. Here are three very different takes on the grande dame of extravagant lighting...
...possible to lose Greenland. The only flaws in the sheer, marble-colored landscape are the black shadows cast by the scattered clouds above. But as our plane heads west toward the old American air base at Kangerlussuaq, puddles of blue glacial melt begin to appear - vast, unblinking eyes that reflect the sky back up.

Norman says he wanted to honor Peter, who considered Smith and Carlos his best mates. But in person, he seems angry on his uncle's behalf. In his view, his uncle is being edited out of history, and Smith and Carlos haven't done enough to stop it. In 2005, a statue of the scene on the Mexico City dais was erected at the Americans' alma mater, San José State University, California - without Norman...
