Light in Jerusalem festival

Each year Jerusalem has a festival of light in the Old City. We went this year. There are 3 different routes marked by colored rope lights to guide you from spot to spot. They also give you a map. It was very crowded, but lots of fun. There were about 25 different displays. We didn't see all of them but here are my favorites:
 
Flowers

Prima Ballerina - she twirled and changed color.
 
I think the next two were my favorite. The site was called "Garden of my Dreams". All of the lights and projections worked around the arches on this building. It was cool.


"Stained glass windows" on the ceiling of the cardo:

 
 This was a connector street between 2 routes.
 
 This is the Damascus gate and the title is "The Tree of Life":

We passed by Shaban's shop on the way and he was on his way home, so we gave him a ride. Very nice evening!
