The Winter Dreams Light Sculpture Exhibition is on display at the Jerusalem Botanical Garden. As darkness falls at 5:00 p.m. the garden display opens to visitors, featuring dozens of illuminated displays of impressive sizes up to five meters high and eight meters long.
The sculptures are placed on a route about a kilometer long, and include a dragon, a unicorn, a whale, a lion, a horse and a golden fairy-tale princess carriage, the Tree of Love, a rhinoceros, a shining star and many other shapes. In addition to the dozens of giant sculptures, the Botanical Garden premises are lit up with nearly a million LED lights in different colors.
