Festive Light Tunnel

32 Comments

The City of Penticton always puts on a light show during December, and this year added a tunnel.

The tunnel proved to be very popular, especially with children, and so it was decided that it should stay until the end of January.

Given how grey, rainy and overcast it has been – and as of today including a little snow – I agree with the city’s decision. These pretty lights are definitely a little mood booster.

Apparently we will be getting our rain back tomorrow but according to the weather gods, we are supposed to get SUN on Wednesday. Fingers crossed.

Happy Tuesday.

      1. It’s pretty gray here too right now. The lights help keep our spirits up. We have a nice set of little white lights on the trees along the main road in Comox, that is good for perking things up in the winter.

        1. There are many good reasons why humanity’s northern hemisphere ancestors all had some kind of light festival along with feasting and celebration in December/January. It’s so mood-lifting to see these pretty lights when the weather is cold, sodden and leaden. I think your winter weather in Comox might be similar to ours.

  8. Here, there’s not only a light at the end of the tunnel,
    But all the way through….and at the start.
    For our soul must see the way through the darkness….
    And the City of Penticton has a heart.

  9. Hello Lynette, this is a lovely scene, thank you for posting. It reminded me of the winter light display in Korea. They had 3 or 4 of these light tunnels on a ground that was also dusted with snow. 🙂 — Amor

    1. Hi Amor, thank you very much for commenting. Korea’s light display is much larger and more impressive but those light tunnels really seem to resonate with people. I think it might be the sense of being enclosed by light. 😊 Cheers.
