The end of the year has caught up with me/us – possibly the fact that it’s been so mild recently – somehow the Christmas needs snow on the ground to be really authentic.
The local council here in Auch provide us with a small spectacle every year, and unlike last year where we had people waving flame-throwers everywhere in pouring rain, this year we had illuminated kites flying over the centre of the town.
We were lucky with the weather and this drew a large crowd.
After a time dancing around the square, the kites floated down towards the cathedral.
As unexpected as it was beautiful, the cathedral facade then played host to a projected video image…
The municipal decorations made it fairly clear where we were…
All in all a very pleasant way to spend an hour in Auch on a chilly winters night.
