A nice cup of hot chocolate warms up the night. A perfect way to start a nighttime adventure at the Lightscape at San Antonio Botanical Gardens. Watch out for stray dragons! This display projects light onto a large sculpture of a dragon. Dramatic music adds to the spectacle as this couple is entranced by it. These two friends catch up along a walkway between light displays above the dragon sculpture. The Lightscape is quite a popular destination for family and friends to visit. This young couple is deciding what to eat while on their trek. From apple fritters to chicken tamales, they sure have a lot of options to choose from. Stick to the path! Many displays at the Lightscape are themed around different kinds of flowers so there is lots to see and do at the Lightscape, but don’t touch! This group of friends take a selfie in the poppy display by the lake. The poppies for this display pay homage to San Antonio’s reputation as the “Military City”. This woman is walking along candy cane lane near the cabin exhibit. A pop cover of a classic Christmas tune fills the air. A large crowd enters a new area of Lightscape. Wonder what’s on the other side. Bluebonnents? In November?? Normally, this field is used for actual bluebonnets, when they are in season. But with these lights, anything is possible! These two people are taking photos in the bluebonnet field. This display pays tribute to the bluebonnet being the state flower of Texas. Here’s the star of the show! Christmas music synchronized to the lights really sets the scene. These two sisters are looking at the lights together. The holiday light show helps them get into the Christmas spirit. A large crowd gather in front of the light display. These lights stretch across the big open field in the gardens from the entrance, all the way to the lake area. People crowd the long exitway for a photo opportunity. This arch marks the end of the Lightscape. Last chance to take some photos! Many San Antonians taking some last few pictures together before they leave. This is quite a popular spot on the path for family photos and selfies. Bye Lightscape! Be sure to check it out at the San Antonio Botanical Gardens, from Nov. 17th, 2023 to Jan 1st, 2024.
