Amsterdam Light Festival...

The theme this year for the Illuminade, the self-guided walking route, was biomimicry: the science where the logic and structures of nature are applied to solve human problems. Frankly, this theme was a bit weird and so were many of the light installations...

...although this one was pretty cool...

...and I liked the giant spider.

NEST was one of my favorites. The two Indian artists were inspired by bowerbirds of Australia who build their giant nests only with recycled materials, especially blue plastic waste.
