A freezing cold night following the trail around Kew Botanic Garden in London, with aeroplanes on the flight path overhead – as you can see as the man in the video raises his phone to photograph the plane passing overhead.
When I say it was cold, it was bitter – and from about half way around the trail we noticed people hurrying rather than stoping to look at the attractions. The show didn’t appeal to me. I would rather have seen the trees bathed in natural light rather than garish colours, and I could have done without the other light show effects – except this that made me think of China and The Last Emperor.
The music is part of the show, and it’s combined with the noise of the plane overhead – and adds a nice touch, don’t you think.
