Light Night - Leeds 2015

Light Night is a popular light show/festival event that happens every year in Leeds. It is spread out into 10 different locations in Leeds city centre. Light projection were beamed upon buildings and also in the sky. The locations that I managed to get to were Queens Hotel, Mill Hill Chapel, Millennium Square, First Direct Arena, Parkinson Building and Victoria Quarter.

In the Parkinson Building, they hosted a treasure hunt in which we had to solve puzzles from pieces of information from a book to spell a word to find the location of the hidden treasure. The treasure turned out to be a book from a special collection in which it was the only copy of its kind.

In the Mill Hill Chapel, they used a microscope to project a live micro organism onto the floor (6th picture).

Although I attended the Light Night later on in the evening, I thought the event was very inspiring as every location had its unique show and every part of it had significance to a story. However, I was disappointed that I missed out on some shows in other locations. My favourite was the First Direct Arena because it looked to bright and vivid. The light surrounded the whole stadium and illuminated the area and it looked inspiring.
