A month ago two best friends from the US spent a weekend with me, and among many wonderful cultural and other sight-seeing experiences, we explored the Glow light festival in Eindhoven, about two hours’ train ride south of Amsterdam. If you want more info about the festival, or more professional photos, tap or click Glow. Yesterday’s solo was a preview, as you can guess. Firefly field and this installation called “Footprint” were my two personal favorites – very experiential, as this one came with some recorded birdsong, and other was just a lot of fun as the lights bounced and danced in their field, with kids and adults marveling in the cold autumn night.
For now, treat it as art – or check out the photo’s name and do a search. More explanation, and photos, and a video, coming soon :-). Like I said yesterday – all about light and its presence or absence, here in the north in December :-).
Shortly after writing the text & posting that “farewell to summer” photo in Urban Canals a day or two ago, I went for a long walk during a break from the rain and saw, yes, these blossoming trees, a whole bunch of them. Go figure. Always something new.
