Heavenly projections.....!


The official seven week Perth City Festival of Christmas celebrations kicked off in a burst of colour last night, with the official turning on of the Christmas lights which also incorporates a new series of light projections created by 'The Electric Canvas' shown against one of my favourite buildings the old GPO in Forrest Place. After a 36C day the breeze was in and made for a warm balmy evening enjoyed by over 5000 Perthites and visitors alike, check out last shot, quite a crowd oui! Once again there are so many things going on it makes me tired just thinking about getting to them all :) Catch up today, have a great weekend, take care.....!

  9. This is so cool. Although for us Northern-hemispherians it's hard to imagine a Christmas season when the temps are above the 30s. In any case, enjoy it and keep those photos coming !

  12. You found the perfect spot for your shots. They are fab. We were in Melbourne a few years back for Christmas with family. It was fun to experience. Enjoy the build up to the big day and have a super weekend!

  17. This makes me think of the night so many years ago when the family attended a son-et-lumiere show at one of the castles in the Loire valley, Azay-le-rideau, I think. My, how the technology has changed.
