Wordless Wednesday: Running Through the Lights

Saturday night, we ran a 4K through the Starry Nights exhibit at Shelby Farms with 1,600 of our friends. I tried to take pictures of the beautiful light exhibits, but since it was a race, I couldn't stop running while snapping. Because I'm such a fast runner, the photos are blurry; but, enjoy them none-the-less.

The Start: See how the sign reads "Starry Nights?"




We ran through a beautiful tunnel!




This is a music exhibit. See the "Beetles?"




We ran through another light tunnel.



We saw stars hanging from trees.

These are really cool shots. I am also impressed that you run so fast, so far (I couldn't do 4K) and mostly that you have 1601 friends. (Notice I added myself since I wasn't there.)

You did a great job! Those lights are so beautiful. Thanks for hosting.

These are really cool. I took pictures while we were driving around looking at lights Sunday night. I took a few while moving and almost shared them, then decided against it. I'm rethinking that now.

The blurriness is a nice effect!

Margo Dill said...

What an awesome idea to run in a Christmas lights park. I find you are very coordinated to take photos WHILE running in the dark and being distracted by the beautiful lights. I might have been taking a photo of the sidewalk if I was trying to do all those things. :) LOL

You are running too fast. I am sure the lights are beautiful. :P

That must have been fun to race at night and see those pretty lights! Did you win in your age group? Either way, way to go! :)

Makes me dizzy just thinking about running with all those lights! Think I would enjoy walking instead!

Unknown said...

Beautiful pics! They tell a great story, and isn't that why we take pictures??

Yes, they are blurry, but you have got the perfect excuse and some of them look like great abstracts.

Thank you for linking up at my WW: Instagram Images w/Linky @ ImagesByCW

I think they have a real artsy appeal. Thanks for linking up on WW!

Kris @ beyond the whiskers said...

Lol…talk about not being able to put the camera down…I love it! Abstract lights are a lot of fun and your pictures prove it. ;)

Just goes to show what great pictures one can take while shaking!

Love the concept - very funny, and colourful! Now if I were taking them they wouldn't be blurry because my run is more like a walk than a run :)

Kelley Lynn said...

I've done something like this! It's so much fun!

Lauren Wayne said...

That is so cool! The photos on my 5K were all in focus … hmm … ;) Clearly I need to up my speed!!

Very cool! I drive really fast by this one house that puts up a hoard of lights every Christmas. Looks a lot like this. Pretty wild!
