Photos: Light Bloom at Desert Botanical Garden

A new temporary art installation at the Desert Botanical Garden uses lights and geometric shapes to illuminate the Valley's scenery in a new way. 

The big picture: "Light Bloom" will brighten the desert through Jan. 20 as part of the garden's rotating art exhibitions. 

• There are lighted geometric pieces on most of the garden's trails.

What they're saying: "Just as many cactus and desert plants have evolved to produce night-blooming flowers, adapting to their environment and thriving in darkness, our sculptures come alive after sunset," artists Yelena Filipchuk and Serge Beaulieu said in a Q&A for the garden.

If you go: The garden has extended its hours to 9pm Thursdays-Sundays to allow more time to see the display.
