't Blauwe Theehuis (Blues Before Sunrise)

Vondelpark "Blues Before Sunrise"

Tonight I made an interesting journey through the Vondelpark. Steve McQueen made an artwork of the park by exchanging the white streetlights for blue ones. I looked forward to go there already yesterday (as it was my birthday yesterday) but it was raining unfortunately. 
In this photo the park looks very blue but I experienced it as something more subtle, especially when I was wandering around there for a while. The paths were dark and at the same time there were many people on the move. Bikers and joggers mainly but also other strollers like me. I crawled into the bushes to get good shots of the scenery (not so easy without a tripod). There was a full moon but still it felt dim. Disorientation. The blue lights added something strange mechanical to this whole experience.In a reaction on this image a good friend send me this following quote: "Tibetan myths relate how the earth was created from a void that emitted a blue light."On the left side there are two men recording the scenery on video.
