I'm continuing to work my way through the photos I took last night at the zoo; to the tiniest detail, they're simply spectacular! I chose to share this to give you an idea of the scale of each piece. The pathway followed through a magical, long-tunneled archway teaming with jeweled fish and thousands of tiny lights!
Wanting the grandkids in Massachusetts to see some of this, we shared a Face Time as we walked through the aquarium. Heather was just tucking Hazel into bed,and if THAT won't bring "visions of sugarplums", I don't know what will!
Gorgeous colours. My older son lived in Japan for a year and this reminds me of pictures he sent home from some festival he attended when he was there (wish I could remember what it was). Giant lantern type things portraying different characters and glowing from light inside. ETA: I think it was the Nagasaki Lantern Festival.
@gardencat We have friends in Japan, and the Asian culture does design work exquisitely! Some of these pieces at the zoo would be beautiful in a museum and justly revered for their beauty! Thank you for sharing, further, your experience!
