A couple of months back the Enlighten Festival came to Canberra - where they use laser lights to "paint" on the facade of buildings. The artists "paint" images that make comment, or play with the purpose of the building or use small elements of the design to decorate the entire building. In this case they turned the National Library into The National Bookcase. he he. I left in the foreground figures to help with the scale. This shot was taken with the little Samsung ES75, so sad that I didn't get back to the other buildings with my Pentax, one of those lost opportunities that haunts me a bit.

Enjoy.

Mikel.

This is wonderful, Mikel. I have seen this done on youtube.com. So amazing. It is almost like an illusion, but not. I think this one is terrific. Well shot too and I'm so glad you posted it.

I think it is amazing what they achieved with the laser lighting. Had to be wild to witness in person. I'm glad you had at least one camera with you. Thank you for sharing it.
