Missed this earlier but glad I saw it now

Great light in this, Frank, and particularly fitting given the building material. Not sure I'd want to sit in them, though ;-). Well seen and captured.

Hi all! Thanks for your comments!
To all who still do not believe: it is real (but no nuclear power). Certainly unique setup by an artist. I have another shot here [link] . If you are still not convinced, please come and visit!

What more can I add, a great image, well spotted.

and the title? Do they play music? I can't seem to get his site to open. What a nifty place!

Sorry Franky but still I can't believe that banks with lights there! I'm just amazed.
Needless to say, the picture is excellent.

lol :)

No wonder why they are glowing. Ok ok, somebody had to say it :) Neat effect you have there, Frank.

Hey Rod, just an easy explanation for you, mate! The benches are part of a recycling projct for nuclear fuel rods! Now I know where you are coming from, ahem, your name. And I am telling you that you should not sit there for very long time ...


For the rest. The benches really are transparent tubes with neon light inside. This is part of an installation by the artist Stafan Sous. You also find more pictures on his home page http://stefansous.com/ (go to work-> uav uab -> images). Not being humble I must say I have much better picys of this.

Surprising look here kind of like a Dan Flavin sculpture. So what's the story Franky?

Well who would have thought that seats light up a Dougy. These look the same as the lights you get in a solarium, you would end up looking like Zebras if you sat on em a.

Nifty work Franky, you even had Rod stumped.

Hang on, if these seats light up then that would explain the light around each one a.......................I told you all it wasn't the sun & I thought it was bleeding snow on them:-)
Cough, cough...Great picy Franky, I knew it was a goodun as soon as I saw it:-)

Hey, these are unique, Franky - at least to me they are! Looks like the bench seats and backs are constructed from some kind of transparent tubing (I would think durable plastic) with flourescent tubes inside, so they act as both lighting for the area and a place to rest. Wonderful find and very nicely composed. I assume the "sound" part is the buzzing of the flourescent ballasts??

Franky, Franky & Franky mate, are we supposed to believe the sunlight hit each bench in the picy.............Nooooooooooooooooooo

Whoah! Those benches are too cool! Very nice capture, I like the repetition. This is definitely a keeper.
