For two full weeks, the city of Berlin has been covered in a stunning spectacle of lights in which artists have illuminated the surfaces of more than 70 famous city landmarks including Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Cathedral and the radio tower. The annual festival was created in 2005 by Berliner Birgit Zander who said “Light is life, light is energy, light is able to speak all languages of the world and light connects people”. Now her concept has evolved to include “LightSeeing” tours and over 20 illumination artists crafting glowing displays that transforms Berlin into a public art installation. The lights, events, fireworks and projection together make the Festival of Lights amazing. Take a look at those stunning photos took during this year’s festival and found more on flickr. [source]
