yeah thay are a Different type of light than the rest of the area and give a blue light when photographed. The decor is blue / grey too which I think Reflects the blue too.

The wall behind the sales table is the same , but in real life looks grey to the eyes :lost:

Congratulations, this looks to have been a high quality show. Some wonderful trees which look to be immaculately prepared. I am jealous of the space and the lighting you were able to give each tree. :yes: Great job!
Q: Why are we all here?
A: Because we are not all there.

Not all the lights were on when the photos were taken and the suiseki were moved to a new area under the lighting before the show opened. It all looked great by the time the public come in.
Congratulations and a big thanks to all those who helped.
Cheers, jonden :clap: :clap: :clap:
