This week and next week are Helsinki Design Week 2008. A lot of design and art stuff, obviously (wonder why the got the name, eh? 😉 ), and this evening there was a Finnish group of people who were going around town to light up a couple of buildings.
They had big torches and used different colored filters to change the color of the light beams.
It gave some really nice effects. Like painting with light, but then different 😉

And remember one of my previous posts about touristing in your own town?
They also worked on the Dome church. They’d switched off all the regular lights and did all the lighting with different colored torches.
