On New Year’s Eve, we decided to visit the Global Winter Wonderland. This was organised at Great America Parking lot in Santa Clara.Global Winter Wonderland displayed around 40 illuminated structures, nearly 50ft tall and 100 ft long. These structures consisted of some of the world’s most iconic landmakrs, themes, traditions.
The larger-than-life illuminated lanterns were created by 4-dozen Chinese engineers and artists! These artworks were made using 20 miles of silk, 15 tons of steel and other materials including aluminium canss, bottle caps, recycled batteries, CDs, pocelain dishes, flatwares etc.
This event literally took me ‘Around the World’ in a day! What better way to start a New Year-2012!
