I Love Durham by JACQUES RIVAL
The Cathedral was used as a backdrop for the light show
Wire mesh sculptures floated above our heads as we walked the old cobbled streets

While some sat on the rooftops and watched us.
Across the Rainbow bridge and down to the riverbank...
..for a spectacular view of the Rainbow
The tree lined riverbank lit up and reflected in the water

I hope you’ve enjoyed our walk around the city and thanks’ for taking the time to have a look.

Hi Brian
I saw this on the telly this evening and said to Steph< I bet someone puts some shots in. It certainly makes for a great photoblog. Night shots and I see that the "waterfall" was turned off. shame, that would have come out well here.
Super stuff a chilly and bright night shoot. Fave, I think it has to be the "snow-dome" Magic. I felt just like a kid when I saw it on the telly with all the flakes flowing around. brilliant.
Cheers M8.

Wonderful shots, must have been awesome. I was gutted to realise my trip to Durham ended just before this fabulous event, bad timing! So pleased to see your blog and be able to enjoy the spectacle. Thanks for posting and congratulations on some great night time shots.
