Carnival puppet and stilt walker in floaty costume performing in a plaza of a newly constructed park space. The smooth surface of the pacing reflecting light from the LED tree behind and in the distance , winter wonderland birds are shaking their rainbow tail feathers.
The Sunday Finale, and after so much 🌬️ weather 🌧️ it was nice to come out and shine for the last night. Big thanks to all the team. #Bolton #PutBigLightOn #GlobalGrooves #StreetCarnival #LED

Pui-Ka in our Light Spirit puppet costume, approx 4m high and wrapped in white crinoline and gold lamé braving the windy and wet conditions and even managing a bit of a wardrobe malfunction to boot!!!
wide angle shot of Light spirit and the Luminosi tree, with reflections cast onto the wet paving towards the camera. The tree played ambient chimes and soft drone sounds all night, very relaxing.
These delightful creatures The Winter Wonderland Birds are not part of our crew but do share our green room… Their rainbow tail feathers glowing in the evening sky.
We hope to be back out n about in #Bolton #PutBigLightOn tonight, as long as the wind stays below-bellow, It should also be drier tonight now that Daraugh has done one. 📸 #GlobalGrooves #StreetCarnival #LED #Yule24
