Finale
Here are some of the pairs sculptures in Confederation Park, lit up for Winterlude. This brings my series to a close for this year- a month and a week after I started!
@Janey: heat's not an issue. Placement of the lights is essential- a lot of them are above, as you can see in these shots, but also in front or especially behind the sculptures, and rotating so that the colours change gradually.
@Marleen: I really liked how that last one looked lit up. It was one of my favourite sculptures this year.
@Beth: thank you!
@VP: it was a good way to wrap up.
@RedPat: it certainly has!
@Ciel: I tend to start a series and it can go on for awhile!
Fine and beautiful works of ice, of course.
ReplyDeleteTomás.
Oh does this have to be the last William :( This and last post have been the only cool thing here on a 40C Perth day!
ReplyDeleteThis Perth, ON, is pretty cool today! We had -10 overnight, though!
DeleteIt is magical in the evening.
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful finale, William, I 've enjoyed your winterlude series again this year.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ice carvings. You have kept the best for the last!
ReplyDeleteThe expression, "bathed in light" comes to mind. Magical. Which was your favorite?
