Festival of Lights in Lyon

On December 11 we Fulbright teachers, families and friends all met in Lyon for the annual Festival of Lights.   A group of creative lighting designers enhance the city's monuments, public buildings and contours of two rivers with a dazzling display during four days in December.  Lyon now is one of the world's leading cities in its use of public lighting, so much so that Phillips set up its European head office for exterior lighting in 1996 near the city of Lyon.  The photos represent a colorful fountain and a church seeming to grow green vines all over the facade.
