The City of Moncton created a spectacular Christmas lights display in December, 2009. The whole area in front of City Hall is illuminated with thousands of lights of different colours. The lights reflect in the snow and surrounding buildings creating a joyful atmosphere.

As I was taking the pictures required to create this interactive 360-degree panoramic image, a group of people arrived to celebrate the Jewish Festival of Lights. A Menorah, a special candle holder with eight branches (in addition to the main stem) to mark the eight days of Hanukkah, had some of its lights turned on. Just beyond the group, facing the plaza, is a large depiction of the traditional Christian nativity scene. At least two major religions were therefore represented near Moncton City Hall this year.

The area around the camera position will apparently serve as a skating rink when temperatures permit. This promises to be an interesting subject for another 360-degree panoramic image!

La ville de Moncton a créé un montage spectaculaire en décembre 2009. Toute la zone devant l'Hôtel de ville est illuminée par des milliers d'ampoules de diverses couleurs. La lumière est reflétée par la neige et les édifices environnants, ce qui crée une joyeuse atmosphère.

Au moment de prendre les images requises pour créer ce panorama interactif de 360 degrés, un groupe de personnes était présent dans le but de souligner la Fête des lumières de la tradition juive. On a allumé une partie d'un menorah, un chandelier spécial qui compte 8 branches (en plus de la tige centrale) pour représenter les huit jours du Hanukkah. Juste de l'autre côté du groupe, face à la plaza, une crèche de Noël représente la scène de la nativité de la tradition chrétienne. Au moins deux religions majeures sont donc représentées près de l'Hôtel de ville de Moncton cette année.

La zone entourant la position de l'appareil photo servira de patinoire lorsque la température le permettra. Voilà un sujet prometteur pour une autre image panoramique à 360 degrés!
