An evening of lights and illuminations

There's a light festival that's on display on the main road in the city. Last year we found it mesmerizing and mind blowing. We went with great expectations this year and found it a let down. The displays were mostly underwhelming and there were very few interactive ones. It was a cold evening, so that added to the disappointment. It was interesting enough to keep us for an hour though, so would not call it an evening wasted. Plenty of photographs and a burger dinner at 8 pm with friends still means a good time, doesn't it!

Sometimes the first time something is on, that's the best time. Next time, you tend to go with certain expectations which don't always get fulfilled.

I was looking at photos from last year and it was definitely so much more that was on display.

@pitstop There is/was a light show on in Perth but we didn't go this year. It was certainly lovely last year.

This is an interesting one. At least that you were able to capture those moments

It still sounds like a good evening. I'm sorry the light show wasn't what you expected.

It was still good. I felt that last year it was even better!!

That’s the thing with expectations — they really shape how we experience things. At least you still got some good photos and a fun dinner with friends! That counts for something!
