As darkness falls and Uluru is thrown into silhouette, Field of Light illuminates. As far as the eye can see gentle rhythms of colour light up the desert.
The exhibition, aptly named Tili Wiru Tjuta Nyakutjaku or ‘looking at lots of beautiful lights’ in local Pitjantjatjara is Munro’s largest work to date, with more than 50,000 slender stems crowned with radiant frosted-glass spheres over an area the size of seven football fields. Pathways draw viewers into the installation, which comes to life under a sky brilliant with stars.
December 2017 Soul Gifting goes to Opher Goodwin, of Opher’s World
Opher is passionate about many things. A prolific writer of sci fi, rock music and other things, he calls himself an antitheist. Ever prepared to discuss and debate, he also likes a good laugh or two. Of those, he has given me plenty with his witty comments. In his own words –
I believe in equality, tolerance, justice and freedom. I respect other people’s points of view and do not expect people to share the same beliefs as me. ..and would like to live in a world where there is harmony between people and respect for the environment.
With this in mind, he has drafted a document for discussion about the Universal Declaration of Animal Rights

Wow – just WOW! Beautiful stuff I would never have known about if you hadn’t posted. Thank you.
I was stunned with the Uluru one. I hope you and yours have a peace and loved filled Christmas and New Year, Elizabeth.
Gosh, the Field of Light video is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
It IS stunning, isn’t it!
I hadn’t even heard of it! Wonderful!
Me neither 🙂
Wow!! I would love to have seen that lightshow on Sydney Opera House. It looks spectacular. Uluru is one place I’m planning on going to pilgrimage to Raili. That field of lights was something else!
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is really nice of you. I so look forward to your gift. May all good things come to you and yours.
Opher, Sydney Opera House is lit up every year with different themes. I was really taken with the Uluru lights. Surprisingly I hadn’t heard about it at all. That is one place I want to visit too. I do hope your gift arrives soon. May your holiday season be filled with fun, laughter and love shared with the special people in your life.
Oh so loved both video’s Raili.. Beautiful..
Just hopping over to Wish you and Your Husband a wonderful Christmas.. Have a beautiful time..
Love and Blessings

Thank you, Sue. I wish you and your family a joyful, peaceful and happy Christmas
The videos are beautiful. What a spectacular treat! Happy Holidays!
And the same to you 🙂

The lights in both videos were beautiful, thanks for sharing!
I found the Uluru one stunning and different
Both videos are beautiful. The Field of Light has an ethereal quality to it, and the Sydney Opera House is surreal. It’s amazing what can be done with lights these days.
Did I thank you for the Christmas card? This is the first time in years that Christmas has been anywhere near normal for me, and I haven’t organised myself properly, so I doubt that what I sent you through the post will arrive much before the New Year 😉
I’m so happy for you, Jane! Organised or not, the reality of it is just so wonderful for you and your family. It will all fall into place for you perfectly 🙂 Bless you all. And thank you in advance, that is so sweet of you 🙂 xx
I am blessed. In my whole life, I don’t think I’ve ever said that, but there’s no other way of putting it xx
Doing a happy *jig* x

What beautiful displays of light. The Opera House’s light show always fascinates me, but the Uluru one was a surprise. Enchanting.
Hello there! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. I was just as surprised as you about the Uluru ones. It would be awesome to see them live
It would indeed. And a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year to you.
