We
read during our daylight visit to Tivoli gardens that there was a special light show
that would only be at Tivoli for a few more weeks, so when we got our dinner
reservations we made sure that we would be able to see it from our table at
dinner. That way would could view it in comfort, not out in the cold windy
night. Well, it worked out perfectly. Not only did we get to see the light
show from our dinner table, I was able to open the window enough to get some
pretty good photographs. The light show photos are near the bottom of the
page.

| Because this was the
160th anniversary of Tivoli, they commissioned the lighting director from
the closing ceremonies of the last Olympics to do a special light
show. We made reservations for a window seat in a restaurant to
watch this show. It was all done with projection and as you will see
in the following pictures it was quite spectacular. The first picture
below is the Nimb in the early evening long before the show began.
Well after dark the show started, and as you can see from the photos it
was quite impressive. |
