I spent this Christmas with my son and daughter-in-law in Seattle and one of the things we did while I was there was to visit an amazing light show put together by volunteers for the Seattle Botanic Garden. (Daughter-in-law is the photographer.) They say it takes 9000 man-hours to prepare, and that is quite believable. This picture is of the Aquarium scene, but there is also a pond with a fountain, ducks and frogs, and a waterfall, and a dragon, and many, many garden plants recreated in light. A whole grape arbour.
The sky was dark (and fortunately, we escaped the rain) which made the lights that much more impressive.
A huge crowd was in attendance, but they were quieter than you expect, and more orderly. Even the traffic noise seemed to fade away.
Later we retired to a pub, and talked politics, which is what Americans do, it seems.
