We entered a trippy, wondrous world on Wednesday night when @dante.vincent purchased tickets for us to go to the ‘Enchanted: Forest of Light’ interactive experience. It’s a one-mile walk through @descansogardens at night, accented by lighting installations that range from the captivating and the beautiful to the bizarre and the almost Stranger Things-esque. In one grove of trees that seemed to be composed of cedar and redwood, the lights first seemed to be that of a billion fireflies blinking randomly, reminding me of a night on the river in Indonesian Borneo many many years ago. After turning a corner, that same grove of trees suddenly turned into a scene from Jurassic Park or E.T. with ferns and palms taller than us, lit by green strobe lights that a Hollywood cinematographer might have dreamt up. There are plenty of places to sit down and rest as well as bars serving spiked hot chocolate or hot cider and beignets for adults. And while it’s clearly an attraction that’s well suited to curious kids - I never felt too old to attend. On the contrary, being there seemed to open a well of childlike wonder in me that hasn’t been replenished for quite some time. #enchantedforestoflight is ongoing until January 6, 2019 if you’re visiting SoCal and want to see it for yourself. But snag your timed entry ticket as soon as possible, as I hear this annual tradition does sell out. #KAguideLA #descansogardens #LAmagViews
