This is the first of two blog posts of an interesting event last Saturday 6th April in Armidale's pedestrian mall. Starting the early afternoon, artists created pavement designs in the mall, and then towards dusk the mall slowly lit up with some brilliant lighting effects. Dot, I and her friend Jane reached the scene of the action at about 5.45 pm just as the light effects commenced and we walked through a large throng of people admiring the pavement designs and lighting. Here's what we saw, starting with the pathway designs:
A nearby wall has just been re-painted with a lovely design.
And we found a group of kids composing a wall painting.
Walking through the mall, we noticed a stage and seating in the front and, not knowing the program in detail, I wondered what was scheduled. You'll find out in the next post!
And many of the women were attired in interesting designer clothes.
After a quick meal in a local hostelry, we emerged into failing daylight at about 6.30 pm. And we began to marvel at all the lighting effects. For example, many trees were festooned with coloured lights that oscillated from one colour to another.
Likewise, our historic and now heritage listed court-house and the nearby post office 'vibrated' with elaborately changing colours.
And, as darkness descended, the seats were taken up by a large number of expectant people.
Some trees were illuminated with bright spotlights. And the court-house kept on changing colour as we sat alongside it.
And the newly renovated Art-Deco Tattersalls Hotel was also dramatically illuminated
In short, the beautiful illuminations enthralled the huge number of residents awaiting the 'show' about to start.
