The flying huge sea creature kite, which I haven’t seen before in person, must have been exciting. In Japan, projection mapping is popular. I think I know how enjoyed each show, but also how you were concerned about overcrowding. No thoughts about crowd-control is professional negligence as organizers because crowds is a part of festival.<br /> <br />Iceland looks nice and wild country to me. Nice location as it is not so far from England. Hope you’ll get better from the prolonged cold soon. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.<br /><br />Yoko<br />stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10684501661629146087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937298116504825290.post-28740973646556712192016-01-22T08:53:49.471+00:002016-01-22T08:53:49.471+00:00OMG, these all look amazing!!! i would love to che...OMG, these all look amazing!!! i would love to check out the venues of Lumiere London to experience the Luminous lights in cityAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13192059024234619537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7937298116504825290.post-86153416240730380612016-01-21T23:30:29.261+00:002016-01-21T23:30:29.261+00:00That is some crowd outside Piccadilly! :-) Nice ph...That is some crowd outside Piccadilly! :-) Nice photos.

It looks fabulous, especially Les Lumineoles. A pity about the public transport shambles, though as you say it did limit the overcrowding a bit.
