Some Vancouver highlights

Finally here is a selection of some of the action in the Limelight in Vancouver in January. The nights were suprisingly dry for a January in Vancouver and passers by enjoyed playing in the light.

2010-2012 film

After 12 cities visited over the last 2 years, we thought it would be nice to see them all together on a short video. Touzie Tyke edited a compilation of the 12 cities in this 14 minutes film, enjoy!

Limelight on ice

We finally put the snapshots for Calgary online (see bottom left of this page).
Here's some of the action of that night:

the show is on

Last night we installed Limelight on the ice rink in Down Town Calgary, a nicely straight forward install and as soon as the light was on the show started! The official first night is tonight but we couldn't resist snapping some of the action, so here's a couple of pictures before we left. With a low of minus 12 predicted for tonight, it's a fairly nice night ahead.
