Sensorio

The ocean never disappoints, but the hilight of this trip was the night we spent enjoying the fully immersive art installation spread across the Paso Robles hills, Sensorio by Bruce Munro.  It was so special, it needs its own post!  Bruce Munro, the artist, wove almost 60,000 fiber optic, solar powered, stemmed spheres across a 15 acre field to create Sensorio.  It looked like glowing wildflowers and it was breathtaking.  

Experiencing Sensorio in December meant we didn't have to wait long for it to get dark!  It was actually pretty cool watching the sky get darker and the lights get brighter from 5:00 to 6:00.  

One part of the art installation are the Light Towers, made from stacks of wine bottles stuffed with changing-color fiber optic light strands.  While walking though them, you enjoy the funky, soothing music of Ladysmith Black Mabazzo.   This was Ella's favorite part of the experience.

There are about a mile of trails you can walk all through the light-dotted hills.  Delia said, "This is the kind of hiking I don't mind!"

Of course the pictures just can't quite capture it.  This was such a unique thing to see!  I'm so glad we had the opportunity.
