I left just as the sun was about to disappear and managed to catch the lovely light to dark blue sky, with the moon shining down over the empty campus…

The images were made up of hundreds of small lights hanging in strips from the ceiling.  The result was a rather spooky, ghostly image of the three Star Trek characters, perhaps deliberately looking like they were ‘beaming’ in to reception :-)   VERY COOL! :-)

Here is a video. . .
