new christmas light"show" in Zürich

[stmoritzer]

Last night I went to see the newly installed light-art called "The World’s Largest Timepiece" ,

~250'000 LED lights , mounted into 275 bars of 7m length along the 1.1km long street :shock:





first a picture from the old decoration, tousands of small lightbulbs covered the "sky" above the street.


The new light-decoration along the famous shopping street "Bahnhofsstrasse" (one of the most expensive places in the world, lots of jewelleries, banks, fashion stors and chocolate shops) in Zürich caused a lot of discussion, because most people don't like it --

IMO it's a great illumination-art, but too "cold" for a christmas decoration


I started at the beginning of the Bahnhofstrasse, close to the Main Station


the light-show generate different effects








here's a press picture (reduzed size to 1600x1600)
