adorations

Right then. Firstly, apologies for the gratuitous use of colour. Secondly, I don't care. Every year New Plymouth hosts The Festival of Lights at Pukekura Park. As well as light displays for 2 months through out the park there are free movies, concerts and general assorted "happenings". In general terms, merriment ensues.
This particular display pulsates in time to a quite fabulous collection of 80's music, including but not limited to, Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy", Human League's "Don't You Want Me Baby" and (of course) Soft Cell with Tainted Love. I almost busted a move.

In other news, a slightly different and more sinister view of this display can be found here:

Sounds like a fun event. It's funny growing up in the 80's I hated that type of music I was more into heavy metal! Now as I grow older they sound quite good...

@ezzzmaay it's okay...I suppose ;)
@rjb71 I was more of a Killing Joke and Fields of the Nephilim type of guy but that pop "lightness" eventually finds it's way in and starts to twist everything...bah! Bring back the misery!

Thank you for explaining... I saw the PX shot and decided my eyes were deceiving me...

(Thank you for the tune cooties... tainted love was practically an anthem when I was in college)

Under the circumstances your use of colour is forgivable. Sounds like a fun night.

@hrs Agreed...without the people it would just be a lighting store ;)
@joysabin We live in hope. I welcome our new bulb shaped over lords...

@humphreyhippo There was a slight twitch in the nether regions, reminiscent of a well timed pirouette across the discotheque
@littleconnie I have been called many things but you're right, never that...
