Rödluvan and the light festival  2005
Even in the deepest darkness there is  light, shining in the night!
I was walking in town. There was snow and it was rather dark and cold. In town they had a light festival. It was beautiful.
I found a tree made of glistening ice. No, it was not real ice. It was a tree made of fibre cable. And the light was shining through these cables.
Suddenly the white tree changed colour and it went purple.
It could change to all kind of colours and it went orange.
And it went green.
And it went yellow. I said: "Ooooohhh, this is so beautiful".
In an old house there were shining lights in the windows.
I walked in into the park. It use to be dark there. But now there were glowing columns everywhere. And a creek made of a light tube.
And under the bridge the were elves dancing in purple light.
The old town hall had been changed into a castle there Cinderella lived.
This is the other side of the Cinderella castle.
I said. "Has this town become absolutely crazy! The trees has got lampshades!"
I walked into another park and there were many stumps glowing in the dark. I said: "Am I awake or am I dreaming? Everything is so strange in this town.
A picture of the upper side of the stump.
I passed another old house.
The old house was a hotel decorated with a lot of lamps.
I came to a strange red globe that was glowing in red. And sometime is was spraying mist (mot on this picture) the mist spray was damp and cold. I felt chilly of the wet mist.
I wanted to drink some hot coffee and I found a café named Ice Café.
I heard a voice that said. "Hello Rödluvan, welcome" to my café".
I am King Bore, the King of Winter and I am the owner of this café. What do you want to drink?"  "Hot coffee" I answered. King Bore was laughing and said: "No we only have cold drinks or ice cream. This is an Ice café".
King Bore said: Please sit down".  And I sat down on a chair made of ice.
The table also was made of ice. And King Bore served a real cold drink to me!  Brrrrr! :-)
In the middle of the café was a column made of ice. And they had a kind of music that sounded cold. Like icicles that were falling down.
And the column could glow in all kind of colours.
King Bore said to me. "Now" we will let it glow in red. As red you are". I was smiling and enjoyed the red coulour very much. But now I had to go home and I said goodbye to King Bore.
It started snowing again. My big red hood almost went white :-)
On the yard there  was  a beautiful Christmas tree shining in the dark.
The next day there was a gorgeous sunset over the yard. God, the creator of heaven and earth had his own light festival.
