Hi Everyone!
I thought I’d do something a little bit different today, and to showcase our weekend away at M’era Luna, I’ve made a video montage of some of my footage!
Be kind! Remember I’m still learning!
Turn on the Lights 2014
The official beginning of the Giftmas season has come again to Amsterdam!
This year Turn on the Lights was celebrated with a giant marionette, which was an incredible feat of event planning! Would you like to know more?
Turn on the Lights 2013
On Thursday last week one of the big events of the Festive Season kicked off. Yes, it was Turn on the Lights, which those of you with long memories will remember, we first went to last year. I headed into town early and dragged Himself away from his desk in order to get a good spot to see everything!
We got there with plenty of time and then debated with friends where would be the best spot to stand. You know you’ve been here a while when you randomly run into people you know when the city at large is converging on Dam Square! Which, we did! Would you like to know more?
Solstice
As I was surfing around on Pinterest (my new internet obsession) the other day. I came across an outfit and thought to myself, “Oh DAMN Self! You HAVE to make that to wear to Winter Magic this year!” And then I remembered that it’s currently June. Therefore Winter Magic, though I’m in the middle of Summer at the moment, was this weekend.
So a couple of things; First, happy solstice for whichever hemisphere you are currently in. Your days are currently the longest they’ll be for the year, or the shortest. I know we’re getting dark about 11pm. Second, Happy Winter Magic Festival!
In honour of this occasion, here are some of my favourite photos from the last few years’ celebrations.
There is always so much fun to be had!
It’s a time to see, and be seen. (Yes, I was the object of this stare. Probably had something to do with the Lime green fun fur. What?!?)
Masks are worn.
The brighter your outfit
the better.
The crowds can be incredible!
There are knights in shining armour,
Fairies,
Magical beasts,
And a good sense of humour all around!
I hope all participants had a wonderful time, and had warm wood fires and comfort food waiting for you when you got out of the cold!
