Festival of light - Lyon 2007

A giant Newton’s pendulum which gradually changes colour as the balls touch one another in simulated kinetic rhythm can be found in the centre of Lyon’s Presque île for the light festival on the 8th and 9th December.

On the banks of the Rhône, hundreds of light cubes in changing phosphorescent shades decorate the terraces of Guillotière.

A impressive snow shaker dome has appeared over the famous statue of Louis XIV in Bellecour sporting the new slogan ONLY LYON.
