Pictures from the 2017 edition of the Lumiere light festival.
November saw the 2nd edition of the LUMIERE light festival first run in 2009. 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.
The Lumiere festival in mid-November saw Durham lit up with a large number of light installations. The weather wasn’t too kind and it wasn’t on the same scale as Lyon’s Fête des Lumières, but it was spectacular nonetheless (although difficult to do justice to without a high-end camera and tripod).
