WORMHOLE

 

A tunnel of changing colors in motion. Not quite the same effect as when the Starship Enterprise goes into warp drive, but still pretty cool. The path is one way, with the lights moving away from visitors. You could feel like you are being sucked through. What happens when you come out the other end?                  

MOTHERSHIP

 

Another bauble in Garden Glow. The Climatron is a geodesic dome that contains four climatic zones, formed by complex internal shapes and air systems. As with lots of the other glow features, the colors change and pulse.                    

INTO THE WOODS

 

Just around the bend from the viewpoint in yesterday’s post, visitors to Garden Glow pass through curtains of pulsing light. A single exposure can only capture a moment. These lights were constantly changing color and pattern.                 

THERE MUST BE SOME LIGHT

Life moves on, notwithstanding my view of national politics. Our wonderful botanical garden has a year-end event called Garden Glow, when the paths, buildings and plants are covered fantastical, computer-controlled colored lights. We went to the garden members’ opening night preview last night. I’ll stick with this for a bit, unless, of course, I am overcome with rage.

Road trip this weekend to see a very old friend. May be some good photo ops.                     

CRY

 

Again, no energy to go out and shoot so pulling from the archives. It rained all day yesterday anyway. The statue is in front of the St. Louis Planetarium, and so is probably looking to the stars. Still…   

Mrs. C and I are going to the symphony this afternoon. It seems appropriate that we are hearing the Mozart Requiem.
