Travels and adventures we have enjoyed over the years. (Posts with down arrows after mean they have sub-posts that relate to them). Just select the one you want and schroll to the bottom of the list.
Every year the Tondoon Botanical Gardens in Gladstone decorate the entire park in lights. Trees, displays, light shows, light art, you name it, if it has to do with light, it’s there. Nancy and I went there to see what the hype was all about and we were amazed. I took a few pictures but they fail to capture the beauty and effects of the hundreds of thousands of lights, reflections, and effects presented. There was something for everyone but definitely attracted children. We had a great time, enjoyed everything and plan to go again next year.
A river of lightsA forest of lightsThese desigens changed colors and shapes to music … smoke in background changed colors as wellTunnel of lightGiant mushroomsThe stalks changed color as you walked through themBig light boxes all over. You could rest on them, the children played on them, all different colors and shapesAustralians doing their favorite thing .. lining up and buying junk food to eat.Toys for the Children. Toys they didn’t even knew they needed when they arrived, now they all had one …or twoGiant flying bugs ran by men … there were several of them, they interacted with the crowd.Smoke filled bubbles passing through light.
So that was just a small sampling of what there was. An amazing event and show. Hope yoou liked it.
