light in winter

a little over a year ago, i was in Melbourne, Australia. it is an amazing city - one of my all time favorite places. the city is pretty artsy & they recently had a public art project to help their citizens cope with the dark days of winter. called "light in winter", the artists created a river of lighted books flowing through the downtown square and streets:

i love it. AND, on the last day of the installation, people could help themselves to whatever books they liked. i so wish i had been there.
