No doubt the majority of those will all be using flash, just like they do with a solar eclipse.

Is there anybody here that lives near to Hadrain's Wall? I only just found out about this. http://www.illuminatinghadrianswall.com/site/ Around 500 individual points of light placed at 250 metre intervals will be used to light up the 84 mile long Wall. Mark |

Epic waste of time. If you want to see something like that, watch LOTR: Return of the king. |

Phew, I thought it was going to be something permanent. Oh well whatever floats their boat. |

Perhaps solar eclipses would recur more frequently if they used just HTML instead...  I know full well nobody will find that funny, but I can't help it/need help.

My first thought was a permanent installation. Vanity flood lighting is one of my pet hates, because it's evil on so many levels. As a one off event, then good luck to them. I hope it's really pretty, and then everyone can go home.
I had to read it twice, but it made me chuckle so it was worth it

Stupid idea, what will happen to the dark skies in the area? If it is a short term measure then possibly but other than that it is a waste of money. |

My thoughts too, as I said above. However:
If the illustration is anything to go by, it will involve hundreds of druids baring fiery torches for one day only. Might keep them out of trouble for a while

Oh dear... I didn't get it at first but really... Does that mean that you can't see them on an iPad? |

I was wondering about using the word flash myself.

Nottingham has a 'light night' recently with some really good light installations. But oh my god the amount of people snapping with their flash on  I was also suprised at the amount of DSLR+tripod users came out for the night |
