This weekend Glasgow has been hosting the biannual Radiance Light Festival - which is basically where you wander round the Merchant City area and come across lots of random light installations. Possibly the bizarrest we saw (we went this evening) was the giant lightbulb-suspended-from-a-crane (it's Art, you know). HD wasn't massively impressed, I enjoyed it but didn't see anything that made me really stop in my tracks. Walking round the Necropolis (the Cathedral graveyard - reminiscent of Nunhead Cemetery for the south Londoners in my readership) in the dark (apart from the light installations) was interesting though - that's a place I've always been meaning to go and take lots of pictures, but I think I'll do it in daylight. The lights in the trees in the Zen Garden at the front of the Cathedral were pretty though, I liked them. I took lots of pictures, most look like you'd imagine photos taken in the dark of light installations would look like (ie not great!), but there were a few I was pleased with, so I'll stick some of them up on my Glasgow photo blog later this week.
In other news, we are finally getting our act together. With less than 5 weeks till the wedding, it's probably just as well - this week's jobs include paying the hotel and booking the honeymoon amongst other things (so minor details then!).
