Lichtwochen by sabsi
Every winter (from November - January) Essen hosts its festival of lights "Essener Lichtwochen". Then you will find light installations all over the city centre.
I was there in winter 2003/2004 when the partner country for this even was Finland. Which basically means that there were pictures about each and every stereotype of Finland .... motorsport, sauna, skijumping, lakes etc etc. Oh wait, no! There was no mosquito light there I guess ;)
