Oh yeah, the Amsterdam Light Festival, that's still ongoing. 😅 Tomorrow is the last day, so it's time to draw up the balance.

I haven't been as involved with this edition of the Amsterdam Light Festival in comparison with previous editions, think I have paid 'only' three visits. It nevertheless was a relatively interesting edition.

By no means the most interesting one, I don't think we're ever going to get the kind of light festival anymore like the first two or three editions were, but there most definitely have also been far less impressive editions.

It looks like the organisation of the Amsterdam Light Festival has chosen quality over quantity. There were fewer projects this edition compared to previous editions, but the fewer projects that were out there were of a higher level in my opinion. So I hope the ALF will continue on that path moving forward.

By the way, where I normally would have spread the photos out over multiple uploads, this time I'll just post the three photos I had left to share in one go.
