Due to scheduling issues of one sort and another, I did not get to Brookgreen Gardens Nights of 1000 Candles<\/a> in 2019, so I was looking forward to seeing the Bruce Munro Southern Light<\/i> installation this Spring. Well, then there was, of course, COVID-19<\/a>, and that was put on hold for a while.<\/p>\n

Now however, the display is up and running, and I found a chance to take it in on 6 June 2020. It was one of those unseasonably cool nights we have had this Spring, so the bugs were down, but it was still very comfortable, and there was also a beautiful full moon to go with the lights. My favorite part was towards the last of this set of pictures, a profusion of small color-changing bulbs on stalks planted across one of the more open and less sculpture-studded sections of the gardens. I felt as though I could probably have sat out there for some hours, but as the display closes at 11pm, I had to move on out before I was quite ready.<\/p>\n

The exhibition runs from 8pm-11pm through September, so if you are in the area, it's well worth checking out.<\/p>\n
