Lumiere part 1: Brighter later

Lumiere time in Durham: a four night-long event which places light-related sculptures, installations and random neon signs around the city.

Next stop: the Market Place...

Update: Driving out of town at 5.30 on Sunday, we just caught a glimpse of the coloured light bathing the underside of the Viaduct. Pretty, and would have made it an inviting entrance point, if we'd seen it at the start of our explanation. There was also something bright up in Wharton Park: I don't know whether it was there on Friday and we missed it because we entered the park at a different point, or whether someone had found some additional lighting.
