It has been a cold and dark winter, so it was nice to see the sun - even if it was inside the Assembly Rooms. This was from the Helios exhibition - the "sun" version of the series which has so far seen the moon, Mars and Earth. While it wasn't as grand as the moon in the Abbey, this location was quieter and had beanbags around the room so you could sit and look.
I sat for about an hour gazing at this orb and thinking. Highly evocative and very beautiful. It was also a weird experience - the room was lit with a soft orange glow and this huge ball of what looked like fire was hanging in the middle of the room. And yet, with a draft from the main entrance (behind the position of this photograph) it was also rather cold...
