Skyway '09 (1)

This photo was taken during SKYWAY ’09 - International Festival of Light. The old town of Toruń looks a bit different this week with colorful illuminations. Crowds gather every evening to watch the installations and performances. Toruń is one of the candidates to be the European Capital of Culture in 2016 together with some Spanish city and this festival is one of the events which are supposed to attract attention to our city.
