Hello Friends,
This week I wanted to
return to Uluru, the big red rock in the center of Australia, which is a sacred
place for the traditional owners—the Anangu People.
The Field of Lights is a
beautiful light show that happens after the sun goes down. International
artist, Bruce Munro, created the light show in the desert country with Uluru in
the background. Field of Lights consists of over 50,000 solar powered globes.
The exhibition opened in April 2016 and brought life and color to the arid
landscape.
The artwork was named, Tili
Wiru Tjuta Nyakutjaku, meaning looking at lots of beautiful lights. The exhibition
was meant to be temporary. However, due to the success in bringing the raw and
eerie beauty of the desert to life, Field of Lights continues. It’s something
unique and magnificent.
Watch the video.
Fields of Light Uluru is award winning art that
was made by many hands. It connects people to landscape. The next multi-million-dollar
light show to be created by Bruce Munro in central Australia will be at King’s
Canyon resort, which is located over 300 kilometers away from Uluru. There will
be 69 light towers made of 220 bottles filled with fiber optic cables. The
light towers will be taller than an average human. There will also be sound
from many voices coming together. The artwork is planned to open in April 2023.
In these desert skies, there is no light pollution. I’m sure Light Towers will
be something special too.
stay well,

Uluru has been in the
news recently, and for this Part One post I’ll talk about the rains. In early June, the big rock was covered in cloud and took on an
eerie, translucent appearance…
Australia is an ancient
land with the big red rock in its desert center. In recent years, messages have
been sent out from Uluru which is located inside the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National
Park....
