Under Cover Of The Light


This week's PhotoHunt theme is covered.

In late February the Northern Lights arrived in Adelaide.  For 38 nights, the city's historic architectural icons on North Terrace were "covered" with light.  Each evening for 4 hours, the sandstone buildings were turned into an electric canvas.   The light installation was the largest of its type ever displayed in Australia.
