Rainbow Lights over the Docks
It's an exciting year for us here in Preston as it's Preston Guild. Preston Guild comes around every 20 years and it's a brilliant celebration where all Prestonian's come together. There are various events thoughout the year, culminating in September where we have a week of parades and good stuff.
This year, American artist Yvette Mattern has designed a laser show to celebrate the opening of the olympics and also to symbolise diversity and peace. Preston is home to these lights for 3 nights where they light up our docklands.
I couldn't resist grabbing my camera and running down there, but I was with the small one so didn't take the tripod as I had to keep one eye on him and one eye on down the lens! I took over 200 shots and really couldn't pick out a favourite, but I do rather like this one if I'm allowed to. I'll probably put a few more up over the next few days.
