Fairy lightsEvery Christmas at Pacific Place, one of Hong Kong's big shopping malls, they decorate the trunks of the trees in the rooftop garden with orange lights.I have to congratulate them on two counts. First, it's an inspired idea to decorate the trunks rather than the branches and leaves -- they look surreal, like an army of radioactive tree trunks with invisible arms. Second, they don't feel the need to change decorations every year -- they've got something beautiful and they're sticking with it. |
