island of fire

Van Dusen Gardens

this little island seemed to resemble a campfire...in the past they have strung up about 25,000 incandescent bulbs here, but now a switch to LEDs has allowed the hanging of about 1.4 million lights, yet total electricity consumption has actually gone down

Wow, this is a fabulous night shot! Color is quite unusual for such a display, and the reflections are excellent.

A perfect title. For some reason it reminds me of photos I have seen of the holiday they have in Thailand in November where they float candles down the river. A delicious feast of eye candy here! ~VVV~

This is gorgeous David! It truly is on fire!!! BV But there's something about LED Christmas lights that I just don't like..... (in person, that is; not your photo).

PBase seems to be very slow and inconsistent, but finally I get to see this gorgeous image, fiery indeed. What a sight on a cold winter evening. V

A well titled image, and the effect is more than doubled by the fiery reflections. "V"

I agree with Mananee, could be the cozy version of Dante's Inferno! VV
