    Good day peeps!
    It has been some time since I have posted in the group and I have missed you all but due to a busy schedule and life I haven't had anything of value to contribute to the group. I have been following the OCD curation account so I hope my votes have still been delivered to the many wonderful posts and contributions this group provides Hive.

    I wanted to share with you a project that was recently launched in the City of Melton that had the aim of bringing people back together after lockdown and revitalising our community called Illuminate Melton.

    Since the pandemic and work from home orders local communities have seen an increase in economic activity and people have been reluctent to return to office work. This has seen an increase in employment opportunities locally and increases in local trades.

    It has also provided the opportunity for local governments that traditionally wouldn't have spent as much money on their local community in entertainment and art to rethink the way their cities are currently operating. Many people still wish to participate and enjoy the beauty of life but they don't want to be crammed on trains or stuck in traffic to do so.

    As many of you may recall from my early posts my wife is the local councillor elected to the City of Melton and has been a firm advocate for investment in outer municipalities which lead to a better quality of life as families get to spend more time with eachother, are more able to share the home life workload and the environmental benefits of not having millions of cars travelling on freeways each days are significant as public transport is one of the largest pollutants on the planet.

    The City of Melton recently kicked off the revitalisation of Melton by bringing in renowened Australian visual artist Carla O'Brien whom worked tirelessly over a number of nights to set up many neon lights in stunning displays for all to enjoy.

    You might be wondering why I am sharing this here, that is because this design concept is actually called Glowwave and surrounds things that glow either on their own or with the assitence of UV lights.

    The design style is more readily associated with the popular rave scene it dates back to quite some time ago and has its roots in the hippie culture surrounding free love and first appeared in the 1960s and 1970s.

    Although early forms were at times quite toxic as the chemicals used back then to make things glow were also known to cause radiation poisoning. So not the best of early starts but the technology has now advanced to be more safer.

    Glowwave also makes an appearence in fashion although not often and as previously stated is more aligned to rave parties in todays culture and the construction industry due to its high visibility on dangerous worksites.

    The event in iteself was a magical experience and one everyones family enjoyed with silent films and lots of local traders and entertainment!

    I magaed to dub the live band over the top of the clip I put together of the event, I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
