Lumiere Light Festival arrives in the north-east of England, in the historic City of Durham. The event took place over 4 consecutive nights, between Thursday 16th and Sunday 19th November, 2017.

In particular, the riverside walk between Prebends Bridge and Framwellgate Bridge was very popular, although it was a must see part of the whole production. I made the effort to revisit this part of the City on two or three occasions, in the hope of improving, wherever possible, on the shots I'd previously bagged.
