This Is Sickening! The Fallas Street Lights In Valencia, Spain

The above image of the street lights for Fallas 2018 might look insane, but it still doesn't capture the feeling of actually watching the performance. A spectacle of sound and light is held every evening, several times until midnight.

These lights are set up by Italian companies who are hired every year to come up with amazing new LED arrangements. And they're true pieces of art. Below, you can see the setup of the lights ... these pictures are from three years ago, but the concept is the same.

These setups have always included thousands of light bulbs, but they've also recently started to integrate computer controlled LED elements. It's jaw-dropping, what this technology is capable of, and I can't wait to see what they come up in the years to come. I bet the future will be very bright for the Fallas Street Lights of Russafa.

The video and the gifs are from the streets lights of Cuba-Literato Azorín, which were the most entertaining this year. Traditionally, three commissions compete in the neighborhood of Ruzafa. Cuba-Literato Azorín didn't win this year, since they didn't follow the new noise regulations.

A big thank you to @rebeccaontheroof and @jpphotographyfor coming out after the Steemit Meet-UPto gawk at the lights with us. If you watch the video below, you'll gawk too: this is from the first part of the show.
