I don’t know about you, but every time I can experience something that I used to do, pre-pandemic, and can still do, it has a special “frisson” of joy. Holidays at Highfield, always a favorite, was just as stunning as always. And again, different from prior years.
I’m in awe of visual storyteller Rita Pacheco’s imagination and ability to create densely layered vignettes – so many of them – that are beautiful, different, interesting, whimsical, fun and completely engaging. This year’s theme imagined a family celebrating Christmas in their Cape house, maybe for the first time, since travel is restricted. The theme was also based on the song, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”
Sadly, this event just ended today. But that doesn’t mean you can’t relive some of the magic from this year. For twelve days, starting today, I will be featuring some photos I took of this year’s work. So come back each day and enjoy the Twelve Days of Holidays at Highfield!
