Took my youngest son & partner to E.F. last night & these are a small collection of the 50 odd shots I took. The first bunch is of the sequence of lights accompanied by music , all taken from the same spot just to show you how lights can make these Silver Birch come alive .Of course you all will have your favourite the consensus within the family is for number4, but I think they all look good in the own way. The last shot of the taller trees shows how well the Loch is suited to this type of environment , only problem is there was so much going on at eye level that not that many people were looking up. If they had not only would they have been able to admire these wonderful trees, but also seen the Bats having a field day with all the Moth’s etc. being attracted to the lights. Not sure what type of bats, so when I go down on Tuesday night I am going to take my Bat Detector & try & find out.
Heard an interesting tale from one of the stewards on duty. Saturday night is the night that the local youngsters try & sneak in through the woods to see the show without paying. Stewards are placed around the woods to deter this, but there are so many different paths in, some will always get in. To prove that they succeeded you have to take a selfie & meet up at the pub after to prove you got in. As the tickets are £20 per head on weekends, thay have done well if they can get in.
