Guerilla Lighting

On Wednesday the 14th the Technicians of the Philip Sherlock Centre on the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies put on a light show.

The chapel as it normally looks

I was only able to capture the Mona Chapel when it was lit and the Aqueduct.  However as it was getting late and due to some technical issues I missed the lighting of the aqueduct but took some shots anyway.   Enjoy.

The Stadium

 

With all this talk of cantilevers being old, worn down, potentially dangerous they pulled it off anyway.  No big fiasco, no parts of the superstructure falling and crushing fans or foreign talent scouts.   So that said it was well wicked... or so i heard.  From where I was  it was clear to see the police presence, both inside and out.  All

of the cycle track was littered with them (see below).

The crowd was massive although I noticed there were quite a few seats free in the grandstand on saturday night.  Enjoy the rest of the pics.
