Georgetown Glow #1

Georgetown Glow is a holiday light art exhibition spread around Georgetown, not far from our apartment. 


During some of our evening strolls, we have seen different installations. Two are featured below. 

Aqueous:  In a Georgetown park bordering the Potomac River, we found Aqueous, pictured below. 


What made Aqueous fun was being able to walk on it, which caused the lighted pathway to shift from blue to red.  Below, Susan is pictured doing her impression of Michael Jackson in the Billie Jean video, making the walkway change color under her feet.

The resemblance is uncanny.   Don't you agree?


My Light is Your Light:  Another installation that we liked is called My Light Is Your Light, located in front of Grace Episcopal Church on Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown.


We learned that the artwork is a tribute to refugees which was inspired by the artist's work as an interpreter for refugees from Syria, Iraq, Sudan and Somalia.  Seeing the artwork in a churchyard during the holiday season made viewing the artwork more poignant.
