ZooLights at the National Zoo

I think of all the trees, the ones decorated in these lights were my favorites. The one thing that struck me while there was how much work it must have been to string lights on maybe 100 trees, some of them pretty tall and having an awful lot of branches. There was also entertainment including laser shows, Panda Claws and “dancing trees” that came alive to the music, which I now realize are the trees pictured below.

Putting those lights up in the trees must have been a hell of a job. A beautiful effect with the multicolor lights.

Wow, the overall place must be so amazing. As Paul Gauguin once said: Colors are the language of dreams.
