I reckon we ought to fix a visit to Amsterdam one year to catch this event! it looks so cool.

Wow, this is all really gorgeous! I love the story about Wolfert's dog!

I know! It's crazy! I've seen one of the canal cleaning boats at work and it just kept fishing up bicycles with every scoop, it was ridiculous.

All the art was amazing, I'm glad I bought the 'Lightbook' with all the background information, I missed quite a bit of the audiotape because I was too mesmerized by looking at the pretty;)

We should do a fandom meet-up or something! We all like shiny stuff, after all, right? *g*

Oh my, I am overwhelmed with the beauty!

(and seriously, 150000 bicycles in the canal? What the hell?)

beelikej January 20 2017, 19:37:21 UTC

Woah, you added a zero, but 15,000 bicycles is still a LOT, right? I honestly don't know why people do that o_O

The Lightfestival is such fun, I was overwhelmed by the creativity and the beauty of the designs <3

jimbobjoe January 20 2017, 21:07:53 UTC

Oh, so I did! But yeah, 15,000 bikes is a LOT.
