Last look at de lights…

I figured this was worth paying the gardens a visit to see what Bruce had done. A photo opportunity you don’t see everyday.

On the way in this catches your eye. Spheres with spheres inside them with fiber optic cable inside them. They cycle through a range of colors.

The boy spent a great deal of time setting these up. Yeah, look closely at each one of those little white spheres. There are thousands of them. A little farther down in the blog you’ll see what they look like at night.

Click on the images to get a better view. I didn’t count the lights, but they go on for several hundred feet.

These had been put up in the conservatory. I snapped a few shots as they changed color.

 

 

This is a close up of one of his sculptures. Mesmerizing as it changes colors. 

 

 

 

Above (while I still had light), below (after the sun dropped).

 

Wondering what to do with all those soda bottles? Well here is a project. Set them on top of one another, add fiber optics and LEDs.   

 

I like the way the lights went off into the distance.

 

 

Not something Bruce did but I couldn’t resist a quick snap of the fountains lit up with LEDs.

Here was a path of fiber optic strung out over some ground cover. This would have looked a lot better had I caught the images at dusk when you could still see the plants clear enough.

 

Oh well, hope you like the shots as much as I liked taking them. Had a good time.

 

Stay tuned for some future posts I have coming up. Fall color shots along with a very unique venue I’ll guarantee you won’t find just anywhere.
