CERN Globe Light Man

jumping light man out side CERN:

The Globe of Science and Innovation

27 metres high and 40 metres in diameter, it’s about the size of the dome of Saint Peter’s in Rome! A unique visual landmark by day and by
night, the Globe of Science and Innovation is a symbol of Planet Earth. It is CERN’s new outreach tool for its work in the fields of science, particle physics, leading-edge technologies and their applications in everyday life.

    Thanks guys,

    I didn't manage to take this shot in one go. It took a few attempts to get the shape right. It was also very tiring work without a remote for the camera, lots of running back and forth!

    I think it looks slightly better zoomed in a little:
