Yep - Justin has more caveats for his photos, just as he did in the Pandora thread. It was hot and humid and I only had an F3.5 max aperture kit lens for these shots...plus all handheld, no tripod. So while not the world's best stuff, and all high ISO as needed for those situations, these are at least my first shots of this show, and my first time having seen it. I actually liked the show, too - no glitches or issues on our night as I've heard some reports of in the past.

Finally getting around to photos from 2018, and the only time I saw Rivers of Light.

This is Shaman Aditya, one of the characters in Rivers of LIght. At the time, I thought the show was similar to a Cirque du Soleil production: Characters wandering through the audience before the show, strange but interesting music during the show, and a plot that is known only to the creators.

i kind of liked it, once i realized that all of dennis's points are correct, just go with the color and music, plot may or ,may not be there, just like cirque. and it sure was better than that lame kite show. disney imagineers should die of fatal shame to even be associated with that abomination of creativity.
Researching this show revealed a lot of backstory. It that had been shared with the viewers, the show might have lasted a few weeks longer.

I'm starting to think there may be a Disney show rule that says if there is water, there must also be fire.

You can just hear acolyte Ketu grumbling "When the job description said light work I though that meant there would be no heavy lifting."

This was not taken during the show, but in the evening before the show. One of the lotus floats is in position waiting for the curtain to go up. (It wasn't really this light; I increased the exposure to show more details. The lights in the background behind the seating area indicate that it was fairly late in the day.)
