Abbaye de Paimpont:  Son et Lumière by vignouse

Abbaye de Paimpont: Son et Lumière

Françoise @francoise asked yesterday what the low-key crowd were looking at... they were looking at this - a laser light show projected on to the walls of the Abbey, telling the romantic story of 'La Lune' - the moon - in prose and verse.

Update:

As I'm actually in bed with the Flu and feeling very rough, I forgot to mention as much as I should have done about this image. It's actually painted by laser light and accompanied by a 4 channel soundtrack. In this image, we pass through the four seasons seeing the plants sprout, grow, flower, wither and end up as a metaphor for the starkness of winter. The moon also passes through its phases as the seasons change and the spectacle lasts for 20 minutes, passing through about 25 different scenarios.

I could not see the point to the circle of light until you explained it. What an unusual way for a slide show.

Wow, what an atmospheric idea! Great shot - Lucy

Yes, it certainly did photograph well. And is a much more wholesome activity than the mood I thought the other picture set: as though the spectatators were waiting for a public execution.

@francoise The mood is very different in colour as this is the spectating area decorated with Christmas Trees and lit with coloured lighting. I processed the B&W with a very different idea in mind and then realised I could use it for the Get Pushed challenge.

This is very cool, thanks for the background. I wouldn't have expected a laser show at the Abbey. Fantastic photo!

Super shot Richard. Hope you are feeling better soon
