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.
The meme is now continued by River at Drifting through life. The rules are so simple as to be almost non-existent. Post some photos under the title Sunday Selections and link back to River. Clicking on any of the photos will make them embiggen.
Like River I usually run with a theme. Each March my city holds an Enlighten Festival. It started on Friday and runs for the next ten days. Buildings in the Parliamentary Triangle are illuminated and some class acts are brought to the city. Many events are free, and it is very, very popular. We went (of course) and will go back again next week to see an act which wasn't on this week. I took several hundred photos and will devote a post (or two) to them later.
I was surprised to notice that this year Enlighten seems to have a sub-theme. The images on the illuminated buildings change every few minutes. They are designed to reflect the buildings purpose, and often feature highlights from current (or recent exhibitions). This year each display featured rabbits. Often very briefly but they were there. Why? I know not. It was fun though. The rabbits are a very minor part of the display, but once I had noticed them they 'popped up' everywhere.
These were on the National Portrait Gallery.
On the far left there is a rabbit - on the walls of the National Art Gallery.
There were several of these inflatable rabbits. They were HUGE. I read somewhere that they are seven metres tall... The exhibt, titled 'Intrude' by Amanda Parer, is apparently an illustration of the contradictory nature of rabbits. Part of our childhoods, innocent, cute and fluffy. Introduced into a foreign landscape they wreaked havoc...
The pink rabbits adorned Old Parliament House.
More of Amanda Parer's big bunnies.
This bunny was appeared briefly on the walls at Questacon.
The National Library too had its bunnies. And I did think of Beatrix Potter and Peter Rabbit when I saw these.
Not only do we have Enlighten on at the moment, in less than two weeks the Balloon Spectacular will start. Woo Hoo.
