Festival of Light

There are those days where we are visually and viscerally reminded of how lucky we are to live in such a dynamic place.  The annual weekend of the "Festival of Light" in mid-September is one of those times.  We wandered the town on a Friday evening admiring the impressive array of different artistic exhibitions that all use different light elements to make their point.  From the thunderstorm of light bulbs... to the 100 meter citadel wall covered in rotating slides... to the large "light flower" made up of the work of many school children... to my favorite: the luminous 30-foot long koi fish gracefully floating above the buildings... it was all a feast for the eyes.
