Moscow Light Festival & Optical Illusion photos

Moscow Light Festival & Optical Illusion photos!

Circle of Light festival - 2016

We dragged our good buddies (left to right) Jack, Shirly, Francine, (me), & Alain out to see the light show (Craig's taking the picture)
 

They can do so much with light. We didn't find it AS good as last year, but still good. Maybe next year we will go to the University where they also have a huge fireworks show after.




A bit blurry, but all of us (minus Craig, the cameraman) by our Moscow sign - which is now gone


 Illusion Gallery - "Eyebirint"
4th floor of Children's World Mall @ Lubyanka metro station (Moscow)

 After a lovely Sunday brunch at our place with our good Swedish friends, Jan & Lilijana, we took the metro to try and find this illusion gallery. Cecilia posted pictures on Faceboook and I wanted to go try it myself. It was a lot of fun acting like a kid again!
This is a huge tree inside
"Детский мир" (Children's World). I thought it was just a toy store, but it's so much more!

View of same tree and part of the mall - beautiful!
Craig thought this was hilarious - we thought it was a little creepy posing with the little girls! lol This is the Lego area.


That'd be nice if those 5000R bills were real!




I happened to wear the right colours for this photo shoot! :)

Good acting!
 



Totally cheese!

That mustache is gone as of December 1st, thank goodness!

I should have just shown my head - maybe next time.



Good one Lilli!
Ahh, my pet tiger.
Climbing the stairway to heaven? I'm not sure what I"m doing with my right hand??

It's not a surfboard Craig! lol

He didn't want to pose for this picture, but I made him!
The lady who worked there took this picture - it's more realistic here and colours are more intense. Next time I will sit to one side so as not to block St. Basil's so much!

I always wanted to be a ballerina!
Again, the employee took this photo - no charge to do so, but then at the end she tries to sell you photos on a magnet - which we did buy - 350R each.

I wish someone had guided my hands to a more correct position!
Lovely darling! You're wearing the right clothes for this photo!
My handsome ballerina
Ahhh, I'm falling! This building is one of the 7-sisters buildings around town.

This one is so cool! We switched, but the difference wasn't as significant
With Shirly:
