Yusra's Random World.: The World on a Facade...

I have often found inspirations in usual not-so-useful things many times. But never have I ever thought of finding it in just light beams projected at a wall.

Sharjah, a place not so awesome but friendly and family oriented, culturally rich and diverse, happens to have one of the most amazing annual events, Sharjah Light Festival, #SLF. This was just any festival in my head, considering the number of amazing things I have seen in my life Alhamdulilah. But it outdid my expectations.

Wait till I show you the pictures... The show was beautiful and breathtaking! It was the first day of the Sharjah Light Festival 2015, I and my husband had already planned to go to Qasba, a place we daily go to and where it was going to be officially inaugurated by the Sheikh. We reached there in time, acquired seats that provided a good view and waited till the Ruler of Sharjah made his speech and then there was LIGHT!

The show was free for everyone to watch, something I can never expect in any other place, be it Disneyland. And it wasn't just projections, it was like a movie where scenes change and come to life. You must check the video out on Youtube and only then would you know. But again, watching something on a screen and watching something on a bigger-than-you building would always be different in the size of impact they leave on you.

The show comprised of the history of Sharjah, UAE and it's cultural and physical developments, but it wasn't one bit boring. The surrounding lights were turned off and another world came into existence on a facade. Here's some mesmerizing photos from the show.
