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.)

    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.

    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

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

    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 :)
