Lumiere

This weekend my hometown, Durham, hosted the Lumiere Festival - this involved various artistic lighting installations spread through the town centre. I took the opportunity to head home: to spend time with my family, enjoy some home cooking, and see the sights. I won't witter on any longer but suffice to say the art was fantastic and the atmosphere on the streets was marvellous.

As a final note I think I should point out that these photos were mostly taken on my iPhone as I had forgotten to take my compact North (apologies for the lower resolution/dodgy focus in places). It just goes to show what cameras on phones can achieve these days and to be honest it handled the large range between light and shade almost as well as my dad's DSLR did.
