Last Friday I went to the lichtfestival of Gent. That's eh a festival of light :) This year was the second edition of it, and actually the first time I've heard of it.
It was the most wonderful thing I've ever seen and I'm not exaggerating!
Al ready when we arrived in the centre to eat something there was a weird, magical atmosphere. We decided to eat outside on the terrace and kept saying that it felt like the Revolution (if you know Bobejaanland) or Droomvlucht (if you know de Efteling) or Disneyland (but I've never been there), anyway you get my point. It was amazing.
Unfortunately we didn't had a map so we just followed the mass. :p And that's why we didn't saw everything, but what we've seen already was quit impressive.
See you again next year! (And I hope you can make it then Ruby!)

Oh and I forgot to tell you the best part!
Last year the difference in energy use was barely noticable, and this time it won't be different.
There are used 55 000 LED-lights with each just 20kWh and the blue birds from Maeterlinck (second pic) are even energy-neutralizing!
