Northern Lights in the South

This is a fun night excursion we did not once but twice. "The Northern Lights" was set up on North Terrace, Adelaide, all through March. North Terrace is where many of our stately old buildings are all lined up on one road. Some bright geniuses worked out a way to project changing images of light on each of the buildings and the result was amazing, like walking through a fantasy land. There were about five or six light images for each building, each lasting about ten minutes. The one above looks as if it's covered with ivy but it was all light.

Although I took quite a few photos, I'll only post some of them. This is one of the smaller buildings. It's Elder Conservatorium, where Uni students learn music.

This was one of my very favourites. The image is outside of the Art Gallery. Each of those statues were made of light! People were walking up and waving their hands through them.

There's Emma back there in a ray of light.

There was quite a crowd each night the lights were on.

I tried to take a close-up of this one on the museum. It was made to look like a haunted house with spider webs, and there was even a big red back image.

That's part of the state library.

We really liked the bright ones. My little camera isn't all that expensive but it did a pretty good job without its flash.

Because it was Blake's 4th birthday last week, I'll just include a few birthday photos too. It can be quite a trick to get a nice photo of Blake, as he's decided he's camera shy and never poses when anyone asks him to.

Here he is with his big brother.

One of his favourite presents, a kingergarten program for the computer.
