Luminarie is coming...

This weekend sees the start of the Luminairie. Apparently it's a gorgeous light event started after the Great Hanshin Earthquake in an attempt to draw people back to the heart of the city. Shops & businesses in surrounding streets are putting up their own fairy lights. I can't wait :) incredibly they take them down the week before Christmas!

There are two kinds of light - the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures. James Thurber
