Berlin’s Festival of Lights 2011

The seventh annual Festival of Lights is currently taking place in Berlin, Germany. Beams of bright colors and shapes illuminate more than 50 famous landmarks and spaces, including Brandenburg Gate, Berlin Cathedral and the radio tower.

This year's festival runs from October 12 to October 23. The longer autumn nights are the best time to put the city in the spotlight. The open-air gallery starts every night at 7pm and lasts until midnight.

Berlin-based artist Ben Wagin created a piece called the Parliament of Trees, which illuminates the Berlin Wall to honor those who have passed. The piece includes projected trees, memorial stones and images of the original wall. Politicians, artists and writers have also added to the project by contributing paintings or text.
