VENUE: Canal bridge at Bastejkalns

The greatest speed occurring in nature is light – almost 300 million metres per second.

Due to this charactersitic, light particles can travel any path in a matter of one moment.

One of the main life’s existance aspects is the fact that sun rays can travel to earth in a matter of seconds.

Usually it cannot be seen by the naked eye, but tonight we can observe light particles flowing through the night-time city – they twinkle from joy of firing, gleaming in the water of the canal.
