November saw the 2nd edition of the LUMIERE<\/a> light festival first run in 2009<\/a>. The event has been somewhat a victim of its own success with huge crowds saturating the narrow streets of Durham; sadly it is not clear whether it will run again.<\/p>\n

\"LumiereSnowdome\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The statue of Lord Londonderry in the market place enclosed in a snow dome. Essentially the same artwork was on display in Lyon in 2007<\/a>, except with the title “I love Lyon”!<\/p>\n

\"LumiereWalk\"<\/a> \"LumierePlenum\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(L) Hartmann Grid – more interesting from a distance than close up. (R) The fascinating Plenum, projected on the tower of St. Oswald’s.<\/p>\n

\"LumiereCrownofLight\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The wonderful Crown of Light<\/a>, telling the story of Durham cathedral in a vast son et lumi\u00e8re projected onto the north face of the cathedral.<\/p>\n

\"LumiereCathedralVests\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But the most stunning sight was the cathedral nave filled with candle-illuminated vests (representing miners’ vests).<\/p>\n

\"LumiereCloisters\"<\/a> \"LumiereMechanical\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More displays by the clearly borderline pyromaniac Compagnie Carabosse<\/a> in the cathedral cloisters and close.<\/p>\n

\"LumiereFlyingMan\"<\/a> \"LumierePeople\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The ethereal illuminated figures of Les Voyageurs (Cedric Le Borgne).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
