N3B

Friday night was N3B, the third edition of Nuit Blanche in Metz. The theme this year was "water and dreams" and was thus located in the quartier, or neighborhood, of Metz known as Les Isles, since they are in fact islands in the Moselle River. You can read more about the Nuit Blanche phenomenon here at Wikipedia, or here on the page for N3B Metz. Plus, here's what I had to say about NB2 last year.

The cathedral with a soaring bubble-anchor above

Projected scenes from Jaws

Our intrepid group of assistants, who braved the cold evening and had a ball!

Temple Neuf lit blue

Icebergs

Flags by night

Speakers had been hoisted into the trees and we were treated to sounds from the countryside, as well as an intense thunderstorm.

Audience-controlled, synchronized light and fountain show

A pink concert

Wish balloons to be released into the sky
