Christmas Lights [image heavy]

So this is a VERY late post but I have been quite busy sorry guys OTL
Last month, just after Christmas, Stuart, our friends Stephen & Echius & myself went for a drive to have a look at the local Christmas lights. We had heard of a huge display just outside of town so we decided to head there.

This is an extract from Christmas Wonderland NZ about the light display we went to see:
Last years (2011) show consisted of approx.150,000 lights, 180 multi boxes, 420 extension cables and used 22.5 kw of power.  A search light  also was bought in, in the weeks leading up to Christmas, to help Santa find his way.  Just incase he didn’t see the other 150,000 blinking, flashing, strobing lights – pulsing to the likes of Metallica’s Enter Sandman.The display uses light-o-rama controllers and software, 256 channels are incorporated into the light show. Sequencing took on average 46 hours for a 3 minute lighting show.The list of songs that were sequenced are:Metallica “Enter Sandman”Brian May (Queen) “Resurrection”Emerson Lake & Palmer “Fanfare for the common man”Pat Benitar ” All fired up”Twisted Sister ” Come all ye faithful”Snoopy’s ChristmasAlvan and the chipmunksThere was a song playing with the lights every 6 minutes. 

And now onto our photos from the night~
WARNING: Some may be a bit blurry & what not because I'm still getting the hang of my new camera.
