I took the opportunity Saturday to make my annual trip to Brookgreen Gardens<\/a> and the Nights Of A Thousand Candles<\/i> Christmas display. This year was quite warm for a December night, unlike some years in the past, and it was very pleasant to be out and about under the trees with all the lights and candles.<\/p>\n

As usual, the big picture stays the same: sculpture, trees & lights, but the details change yearly. This year, I think there was more going on in the Children's Garden for instance, and less in The Fountain of the Muses. I also think that they took some cues from last year's Bruce Munroe installation<\/a>, which I liked quite a bit, especially in the riverbank area which rather combined the ideas from his frog display and his firefly display in a way.<\/p>\n

One very noticable change was that the popular \"Holiday Memories & Trains\" exhibit has moved across the main concourse to the Rosen Galleries, leaving the old space as a members' lounge.<\/p>\n

Though some of the remaining nights are sold out, if you can get a ticket<\/a> and make the trip, I highly recommend it. The festival runs weekends until 2 January 2022.<\/p>\n
