Leeds Light Night took place on Friday evening as the city was transformed by performance, installations and exhibitions to shed new light on buildings and locations in Leeds. For me the great thing about Light Night is the opportunity to look upon the city from a fresh perspective as you would if visting a city for the first time. On our tour of St George's Field, Leeds University, an unexpected bonus was the sight of bats circling the Chapel seemingly unperturbed by the visitors. Whilst walking through the university grounds I caught sight of these two illuminated climbers, Virgina Creeper and Clematis Montana that could have been worthy exhibits for Light Night.
Elsewhere, on the Headrow, a passing flock of migrant winged creatures appeared in front of Oxford Place Methodist Centre, perhaps on their way to winter feeding grounds.
Those migrants are great
ReplyDeleteToronto just celebrated Nuit Blanche ...same principle of lighting up the night and letting the imagination in. Love your photo of the ivy..
ReplyDeleteThe first shot would be a perfect Halloween photo.
ReplyDeleteHello CB, unusual aren't they, couldn't find them in any of my reference books though.
ReplyDeleteHello Susan, thanks for dropping by, Light Night is a great evening. As you said its a wonderful opportunity to 'let the imagination in'. The view of the illuminated ivy seemed like a fitting contribution to Light Night. Best wishes, Linda
