Festival of light - George slaying the Dragon
I, with the wife, visited the festival of light at Longleat this week. We went once before around 2013 and it was pretty spectacular then. It has become even more so and grown in size. These are just a few images I took to give you some idea of the effort that goes in to creating these wonderful exhibits. They are (I believe) a wire frame with silk glued on then painted as required. Either soft low watt bulbs or LED's are placed inside depending on the desired effect required. If you look to the right of Zeus you will see people in the shadows and this will give you an idea of the size of some of the exhibits. The whole temple (life size) was also made in the same way.
