Feeling like a fairy in a Field of Lights.

Our last night at Uluru was spent meandering through the fairyland of coloured lights that made up the unique art installation Field of Light. When visiting Uluru in 1992, the artist, Bruce Munro, came up with the idea of lights coming up from the ground to represent wildflower seedlings growing in the desert. His idea came to fruition on a grand scale. Over 380km of optic fibre is used and the work is made up of 50,000 solar powered lights. The result is just magical. The lights constantly change colour which changes your perspective on the piece depending on the contrasts of the colours. The night we visited was particularly dark (it had been drizzling during the day and the clouds had stayed in the sky) though the darkness made the lights really stand out and appear to continue so far towards the horizon. After several walks around (and lots of oohs and ahhhs at the colours) Daniel and Henry took the kids home on the first bus as they were very tired whilst I stayed another hour to absorb the beauty of the spectacular scene. It was definitely an added bonus to my time at Uluru.
