Mid-Autumn Lights at Gardens by the Bay

The giant light displays at the Gardens by the bay are a nice reminder of the Mid-Autumn Festival that used to be one of my favourite childhood festivals. Every evening until September 18, these “lanterns” will be lit highlighting the various folktales that surround the festival. In addition, as the Singapore Art Festival is also going on, Ron Arad’s 720 degrees art installation is set up in The Meadow of the Gardens. The installation consists of projected images on a “curtain” of silicon rods. The images can be viewed inside and outside the installation. Both events made for some fun photos.
