Australia’s Magical Field of Light

My favorite thing in the Uluru area of Australia was the art installation called “The Field of Light”.  There are sunrise and sunset viewings.  We went to the sunset viewing with canapes and champagne to eat and drink while the sun went down.  After it got dark, we could go down and walk around the light installation.  The lightbulbs change colors, flowing across the field.  It was magical with the clearly viewable stars above, and the multicolored lightbulbs surrounding you on the ground.  No tripods are allowed, so most pictures are a little blurry due to the darkness, but at least a handful of mine turned out basically ok.

The art if from Bruce Munro (website here) and he has displays in other locations in the US and other countries, so you can see if anything will be near you or in a place you visit.

Uluru and the nearby King’s Canyon are well worth a visit during the day as well.
