The Berlin Cathedral illuminated during the Festival of Lights in Berlin, Germany
The domes of the Berlin Cathedral are already worth a photo during a visit to the German capital. But every year for the past 11 years, October brings the Festival of Lights to Berlin and many iconic structures in the city become a canvas for artists using light as a medium. From digital projections like those on the cathedral, to lasers, neon and other light-generating devices, all of Berlin will be aglow for the next 10 nights. Best of all, the show is free - simply grab a map of all the light shows and start walking.
