Lighting of Nagoya Station

Remember my last post when I mentioned the much-anticipated holiday lighting of Nagoya Station?! As I walked home from work today, I saw a bunch of people waiting on the sidewalk in front of Nagoya Station, and many were even setting up tripods. I wondered if they were lighting the station and decided to stand around and wait for a few minutes. Here are the results: This was the first display; it is two children sitting at a table in front of their window. There's a dog on the left, and two butterflies on the right. Then the kids take a walk, and find Spring!! The pink trees represent the cherry blossoms. Spring turned to Summer, which true to form, included a lot of rain! Summer turned to Autumn, and the leaves were blowing! I posted a video below. This thing went on for a good 5 minutes, so I just posted a 20-second excerpt. Finally, Autumn turned to Winter, and snowflakes came down! It was very cool, but not that holiday-ish or Christmas-y. Just fascinating fun!

Here's the video of Autumn turning into Winter. (You will need to go directly to the blog to view. It won't work from your email.)
