Light...........

.......Nelson 2016
 
This is the 3rd Festival of Light – the first time we have gone and we weren’t disappointed.
 
The exhibition features 62 installations scattered through the Queens Garden and the Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology campus – situated close to each other, actually, on opposite sides of the street.
 
 I have chosen a Fire Dancer, one of several, as my main blip. Their skill and their movements to music was magical and a joy to watch.

And I want to extend a very big thank you for the many stars and hearts for yesterday’s flower in ‘shades of yellow’.  It was one that was glowing all alone in the sunlight beside the beach pathway.
