Peaceful Wishes

 For Christmas Day and the holiday season...




We visited Wild Lights in the zoo again this year, after having taken a break for a couple of years. This year they were calling the theme "Kaleidoscope", and there was a rainbow zone and then several zones all themed around different colours. There was also an underwater "tunnel" with the fish and sea creatures painted on fabric with I guess maybe some fluorescent and some interference colours, so they were very hard to capture. I'm adding just a few photos here and if you have time for an album of about 100 images (winnowed down from over 300, and given how crowded it was, that was pretty good going!) you can find it HERE.  We were lucky - there was a storm earlier in the week and that afternoon when I was cycling home from my work Christmas lunch, I saw signs saying that it had been cancelled. It was a fine dry if slightly cold evening for us, just about perfect.
