Last February I was happy to see the Central Oregon Light Art exhibition lighting up winter nights in Bend. Oregon WinterFest has food, beer, and music like other events, but it’s also a showcase for artists. I have photographed the Fire Pit Competition (one of my favorite events!) and the Ice Sculpture Competition in the past. Central Oregon Light Art was added in 2019. I was surprised and impressed with what I saw this year.
This one looked nice in the daylight but look at how it changes at night.

This one reminded me of blue barber’s pole.

A multi-colored suspended piece with a ghostly sculpture in the background.

A simple and bold piece.

An outline of a person. I think I liked this one the best. The guy walking behind it warned me he was going to photo bomb me and I told him he’d be on my blog. 😀

This piece is like a graceful lighted wind chime.

A tree lighted up in cool colors. The flag bridge is in the background.

The temperature that night was cold, but I was glad to have the opportunity to see these works of art lighting up winter nights.
Very cool! Something I would have enjoyed seeing.
Yeah, they were impressive. 🙂
These are beautiful! A celebration of light in winter, joyful to see.
Yes, they were pretty special. Glad I got to see them!
Excellent choice for the challenge Siobhan. Loved the photobomb!!!
Thanks! I was pleasantly surprised by these unique works of art.
Incredibly beautiful! What a delightful surprise! 🙂
Thanks, Amy. It was the first time we saw that exhibit.
Double surprise – found you in the spam filter today! Great entry – would have been a fun thing to visit. Love that follower…
Thanks! I recently cleaned out some comments that were in my Spam folder too. Not sure how they get there.
No – it’s a mystery!
No idea.
