Abstract
These pictures mostly show lights used in North European cities (except two shots taken in Paris). Bird's-eye views reveal that in these cities, warm colors are often used for road lighting, which represents the base for urban lighting. A closer look at the cities reveals that at intersections in the main commercial area, lights are installed on building walls to illuminate signboards. These lights are not designed for excessively showy effects. This paper also introduces the catenary lighting method, as well as the lighting of historical monuments and landmarks.
