Northern Lights: Adelaide cartoonified!

The Northern Lights show of the Adelaide Festival this year has been one of the most brilliant and striking features. Any day I catch the train after 9:30 this is what I am seeing walking along North Terrace. Last week we took time to sit still and contemplate each projection and, frankly, I never paid such close attention to the architecture of these buildings even though I see them every day. The show was meant to finish on the weekend, but apparently it's been extended by two weeks so if you're in Adelaide for Easter or are already here and just don't get into the city after dark much, make sure to check it out!

I have a heap of photos of the buildings on my phone, but lost the cable to transfer (phone cameras are such a pain) so I'm using other much better photos by other Adelaideans out there to illustrate...

This neon version of Elder Hall is my favourite. For a place many will associate with memories of uni exams this one transported me into a cartoon world! (images courtesy of Hanna)

Thank you Adelaide Festival organisers and artists. In a month of Fringey, artsy, comedic goodness, this has been the icing on the cake!
