This night-shot was taken on December 7th, 2019 in Amsterdam, the capital of my small country (The Netherlands) on the occasion of the light festival, edition # 8 there (version 2019/2020 with the central theme 'Disrupt!').

There are 20 artworks shown on this festival. This one, called 'Butterfly Effect' was created by the Japanese artist Masamichi Shimada.

I've provided you already with this detailed one. Now an image with a more general overview about this art object.

Information/description provided by the festival committee: "A ripple in the water illuminates the wings of seven gigantic butterflies against the dark night. It's a seemingly insignificant movement with a magnificent result. Shimada emphasizes that while a problem may seem big, a seemingly small action by one person can make a world of difference."
