Enchanted Forest of light

It’s time to take advantage of what is offered around us. I bought tickets for this outdoor light show. Sorry if this bores you, but there will be more than one post. It was so beautiful.

I’m familiar with Descanso Gardens in La Canada, best known for it’s camellias, Azalleas, tulips and roses. But what to do in December? Although we have plants that bloom or are simply beautiful all year round, November/December is a little sparse

Since it gets dark early, why not put on an incredible light and sound show. And that is what they did. So we dressed up warmly and went out to see the sights.

These first images are simply lighting the forest. These trees do make for a wonderful spooky backdrop for the lights.

At times it reallyiq the camera that is fighting to figure out how to process this light that creates these very other worldly affects. And yet, there is something the camera simply can’t capture.

It’s not just lights, they have some fog machines going, it all makes the atmosphere surreal.

On the trees, the colors are mostly blue, green and turquoise.

We walked into aliens! Not really, many of the kids had necklaces made of ornaments. I hope no one lost a kid, it was quite dark.

In some cases the sources of light are right in front of you.

Blowing out the Bokeh, turning the light into orbs. and the people on the path into shadowy figures.

Red lanterns through the leaves.

Different area have different themes. Love the use of the simple paper Chinese lantern.

A ring of fire on a screen. Unfortunately, the scene changed to something much more boring after this. I have no idea if this ever returned or the computer program is always coming up with new and different images.

More anon.
