Sunday Selections #577

 

 

Sunday Selections was originally brought to us by Kim, of Frogpondsrock, as an ongoing meme where participants could post previously unused photos languishing in their files. 

Huge thanks to Cie who gave me this wonderful Sunday Selections image. 

The meme was then continued by River at Drifting through life.  Sadly she has now stepped aside (though she will join us some weeks), and I have accepted the mantle. 

 

The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent.  Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to me. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.

 

I usually run with a theme.  This week I am taking you back to Enlighten.  Many of the buildings in the Parliamentary Triangle are illuminated, and have projections (which often relate to their function) shown on them.  There is also usually some quirky fun to enjoy as you wander round.  It is free, and the crowds (diminished due to you know what) are well behaved.  As usual many photos follow.  

We headed in just before sunset and enjoyed some time beside the lake.

 

I really liked the colour and the waterlilies and the frogs on this ordinarily subdued water feature.

 

The National Library.  All of the photos are of the same wall - I was intrigued by the three dimensional effect the projections produced.

 

This avenue of trees is illuminated each year - and I always stop to take photos.

 

This very varied light display was fun.

 

The Portrait Gallery.

 

Old Parliament House - now officially called the Museum of Democracy (but known that way by virtually no-one).

 

Questacon - devoted to Science and Technology.

 

I enjoyed watching these coloured arches change colour too.

 

Finishing up at our National Library.

We spent a happy couple of hours wandering round.  Other years have had more quirkiness, and perhaps better displays, but as free entertainment we applauded.

I hope your week is packed with colour and light.

And for those who celebrate it Happy Easter.
