Enlighten

Back again after a year hiatus. We arrived at dusk for the main event deciding to skip dinner at the noodle markets. We walked along the edge of Lake Burley Griffin between the rows of flags naming the countries while the sky got darker as we made our way towards the National Gallery of Australia arriving just as the lights illuminated the side wall of the National Gallery. The light show here was excellent and especially like the Escher sections.

From there we made our way through the crowds towards the Portrait Gallery to a very average light show.

Venturing into the noodle markets, we wandered around looking at the vendors all with very long lines. Eventually donuts were bought and we move on towards Questacon. The light show here was better.

Finally the last spot on the walking route is the National Gallery. Again not a favourite.

By this stage, we had all had enough of the crowds and walking and decided to call it a night. Overall it was a little disappointing this year. Our group thought the light shows were a little under done and there was a distinct lack of individual smaller light displays which had created lots of interest in the years before. Perhaps another thing impacted by Covid. There is always next year.
