How has 2015 been treating you so far? Looking back on the past two months I can safely say it's been a good start to the year. The most fun was the lights festival in my hometown Gent a few weeks ago. The city centre had been transformed with various lights installations and fascinating art pieces for everyone to visit. I almost forgot to show you some pictures I took that weekend. I really enjoyed strolling around, looking into buildings and seeing the city in a different setting.

This was located in an old building called the 'winter circus'. It was the last installation we visited on Sunday and I'm glad we did! It reminded me of a toy I used to have as a kid that projected stars on the ceiling.

Now this was without a doubt the star of the festival. Digital art collective Dirty Monitor told us an impressive story which started in a medieval setting and included the elements of nature, horoscopes, futuristic features, you name it. The Game of Thrones soundtrack was even playing in the background at some point. Overall this was my favourite part of the whole tour. You can watch the projection *here* on YouTube. I totally get goosebumps on 7:40. Every. Time.
