Polestar at night
February 21st, 2007
We’ve been working to ensure the Polestar be properly illuminated since it was first erected back in August ‘06. Letterkenny Town Council, the ESB and the artist, Locky Morris, have been working since then to ensure the artwork was lit properly. Rather than just pointing a few floodlights at it, there are now 12 smaller lights located around the base of the Polestar which shine upwards through the monument.
I went out last night to take some photos to put up here. I’m the first to admit that I don’t really know what I’m doing with my camera. For a start, I went out to take photos at night without a tripod. That did lead to one or two, ahem, interesting photos:
In the end, a combination of the 10 second delay on the camera, and the nearby bench seating, had to do the job. I’m very happy with how the photos came out- as I say, I don’t really know my way around a good camera yet.
I’ve put five photos in total in to my Flickr account, here’s the other three. Click on any of them to see the larger image:

I am doing some research on the per cent for art scheme. It’s great to see someone informing the public about these art works - well done!
