Holographic Presents

This view was taken through a unique pair of Christmas 3D spectacles which transform ordinary Christmas lights and other sources of light into a magical Christmas present image.

Holography is based on diffraction. Think of light not as a particle, but as a wave. When you imagine waves striking objects, all sorts of wave patterns and interference patterns can be set up. When light enters a holographic lens, which is nothing more than a block of plastic covered with microscopic valleys and ridges, the light forms an interference pattern and is sent off in one or more directions.

The light sources here are Christmas lights which are decorative lights used in the celebration of Christmas during the festive period. They come in a variety of colours and lengths, and can be used either indoors or outdoors to decorate the house and garden, and for large seasonal displays at Christmas time.

These spectacles and lights were available a Hillier Garden Centre near Newbury which has one of the largest plant areas of all Hillier Garden Centres, supplied with plants fresh from Hillier Nurseries in Hampshire and seasonal bedding plants.

Inside the centre, the shop is ever-changing, with new displays following the seasons. Newbury has a variety of departments, from the traditional garden, furniture and pot plant sections to a popular food hall and a well-stocked pet and bird care section.

The ritual of winding twinkling Christmas lights around the Christmas tree is one of the many delights of the season. Beyond your tree, there are so many modern Christmas lighting options available, to create atmospheric pools of illumination all around your home and garden.
