Our photograph shows a magical night-time walkway in the gardens of Dublin Zoo during their light festival. The scene is set against a deep black sky, making the illuminated sculptures glow intensely and stand out dramatically. Running along the right-hand side of the path is a row of large, flower-shaped light sculptures mounted at regular intervals on a low railing. The closest flower dominates the foreground. It is bold and radiant, made up of thick, rounded petals that glow in shades of fiery red and warm orange. Each petal is outlined with thin dark borders that define their shape clearly. Inside some of the red petals are curved white sections edged with pale blue, giving the flower a layered, decorative appearance. At the centre of the flower is a bright golden-yellow diamond shape that appears to shine like a jewel. The flowers are constructed from translucent material, likely fabric or plastic stretched over frames, so the internal lights create a soft, even glow rather than a harsh glare. The light radiates warmly, casting a gentle sheen on the nearby railing and ground. Further down the walkway, identical glowing flowers repeat into the distance, each slightly smaller as they recede, creating a sense of depth and rhythm. Their red and orange light forms a luminous trail guiding the eye forward. The path itself is dark, possibly paved, and the surrounding garden fades into shadow. In the far background to the left, faint blue lights suggest other illuminated displays among trees or garden features, adding contrast to the dominant reds and golds in the foreground. Overall, the atmosphere feels festive and enchanting. The bright floral lanterns transform the zoo gardens into a glowing corridor of colour, warm and inviting against the cool darkness of the Dublin night. Finally, our picture is finished with a simple white border frame.

The Semperoper in Dresden which was built in 1878 and reconstructed in 1985. Here it glows on a beautiful evening in 2018. The statue on the left shows king Johann of Sachsen riding his horse.
