Green Spaces Dark Skies

[bungeejumper]

I'm not normally that much of a fan of landscape art - all those people wandering around the planet, drawing imaginary lines between hilltops in order to create notional connecting vectors between points on a map - but this was something else entirely. And I'd never even heard of it till last night!

Six months in the making, and the practising. The four highest peaks in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland respectively. Several thousand volunteers dancing around with colour-changing lamps, remotely controlled to do fancy stuff with patterns, and filmed from above by the drone teams from Game of Thrones (whatever that is? ). Resulting in a 15 minute film that's really rather good. After which they all went home. I'd have liked to be doing that! (Except that I'd have done a Snorvey and broken my leg on the rough ground, which wouldn't have done anybody any good.)
