'Bird passing by' was I think my favourite of the 12 installations at this years Canary Wharf Winter Lights Festival. For me the best bit was the stop-go animation of a bird in flight but that doesn't look so good in a still image so I waited for the whole thing to light up.

From the event leaflet, "We are delighted to welcome you once again to our spectacular Winter Lights festival. For our ninth edition, the trail will take you on a journey through 12 spectacular temporary installations, as well as our ever popular permanent light artworks.

 

Showcasing some of the most innovative light artists across

the globe, our 2025 festival explores the transformative and

other-worldly qualities of art and light, featuring portals, black

holes and mirages. Throughout the trail, you’ll encounter

different worlds - imagined, real and digital – and witness

how these worlds intercept and collide.

 

On the boundary between real and surreal, the line-up will take you from a towering stack of bathtubs pulsing with light and sound, through to Westferry Circus where you can encounter a mesmerising tornado of lights orbiting a pylon.

 

You can also immerse yourself amongst panels of sari fabric

and luminous threads on Wren Landing, be dazzled by an

iridescent mirage on Montgomery Square, experience a bird

in flight and be transported through a portal in Wood Wharf.

Finish up the tour at our newly opened Eden Dock, where you

can marvel at a 20m wide sink hole encircled by light."
