As part of the World Heritage Day celebrations in Roberts Park, Cecil Green Arts collective organised a lantern parade. The puppets are amazing. Lots of children had attended workshops to make illuminated willow wands and colourful paper lanterns too. The atmosphere was wonderful as they paraded around the park at dusk. It was actually darker than it looks on some of my photos, but I've lightened them so you can see some detail.
How clever the lit creatures all are! And there seems to be a certain intimacy between performers and onlookers being so close together.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteHow marvellous!
ReplyDeleteSome of those creations look quite intricate... Not sure whether to be impressed or scared! ;)
ReplyDeleteOur little town has held a couple of lantern parades but nothing as fancy as this. My DIL and granddaughter have participated. I'll have to share this post with them.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive! I wouldn't know where to begin.
