 GlasGLOW 2020. Wow. 

Essentially, every year (this is the third year) the Botanic Gardens gets decked out with a light show fantastic and this year was no different. With exception of making Covid-allowances (ticketed time slots, a one-way system, reduced capacity, etc), it was a genuinely great night out. Admittedly, it's not for everyone with the story being aimed at younger folk, but given it was our first night out of isolation, it was wonderful.

The night was cold but not freezing, and so still with a few low lying clouds - perfect for reflecting the lights from the Gardens. We had to queue to get in but the line, though easily 200m+ long, moved pretty quickly. And then we began our journey! 

First w were 'reborn' with our superpowers:

We walked through the Pumpkin Patch:

Met our nemesis:

Learnt how to use our powers:

And then had the final face off!

We made a stop before the final battle for hot chocolate but I drank it too fast to get a pic, so instead, here's some shots as we left:

And in case you wondered, we did indeed defeat the bad guys, which had a neat references to Close Encounters of the Third Kind 😂 A lovely night out, something different, and exatly what we (or at least I) needed.
