Light up the leafy night

"Light up the leafy night" is one of the events celebrating 150 years of the Christchurch Botanic Gardens. I went tonight because it was a nice warmish night. Loads of children because it was also part of Kidsfest, a yearly festival for the children's winter holidays. Took some pics but my camera is not very good at night time stuff.

Stained glass window in the tree, sort of hobbitty or elvish.

Sculpture in the pond. This is called Muegano and is somewhat controversial; some people hate it with a passion, some have thought it left over wreckage from the earthquake. This is a nice shot of it.
