The Bristol Light Festival always transforms the city, but seeing these glowing miniature hot air balloons lined up across College Green was something special.
Perfectly set against the floodlit tower of Bristol Cathedral, the installation gave a brilliant nod to the city’s famous ballooning heritage.
The still water in the foreground created mirror-sharp reflections, doubling the vibrant patterns and colors against the deep night sky.
Capturing the contrast between the historic stone architecture and the luminous modern light sculptures was an absolute treat—a classic Bristol scene given a whole new energy.
