For the second year running, Sharjah held a Light Festival from 9th to 17th February 2012, where various buildings and locatins were transformed with the most spectacular light shows using still and video projected images, including 3D and laser light effects.
This photograph of the House Of Justice was published in Gulf News on 23rd September 2012 !!

This is part of the video light show on Al Hisn Fort depicting the history of Sharjah.
Along the Al Majaz waterfront on the Buheira Corniche, these giant tulip-like lampshades changed colour every few seconds ....
.... and in the background is ....
.... the spectacular Al Majaz mosque.
This is what the Al Majaz mosque looks like when the light show is turned off !!
The Cultural Palace behind the Book Roundabout.
Alongside the Kuwait Roundabout.
Some of the rooms in this building in Al Qasba appeared to be popping forwards and backwards in 3D, accompanied to the sounds of drawers being opened quickly and slammed shut .... very realistic, but I'm glad that I was not drunk then !!!
The building now appeared to be opening and closing like the sides of an accordion !!
The other side of this building in Al Qasba had a spectacular laser light show.
