Final light destination

As promised, here's the cathédrale St Jean during the fête des lumières.

We arrived in the middle of the animation, but I've put the photos chronologically (this is a lot easier than it was for Terreaux!)

starts off with some trees? sprouting

vines

(oh and by the way, in a lot of the pics you'll see the moon on the top right; it's not a light for the show :P )

Then the artist puts a candle to light up his worktable.

starts working

I believe this depicts the construction of Fourvière



check out that clamp (on the left) coming down to get construction materials

and another clamp, on the right this time

Then our artist comes back; goodness knows what he's doing...but you can see that the doorway arches are "painted"

some more construction

a "zoom" in on the people

pretty lights

some more

Then our artist (architect?) comes back and starts drawing (you can see the pencil)



a clock?



the unveiling of a masterpiece?




the light "crumbles" away

And that's it. Hope you enjoyed the show!

Anyway, remember the silver thread from the previous post? Here is where it starts, near the cathédrale St Jean:

suivez le fil = follow the thread

and there you go...the way to Fourvière!
