University nicely lit up

I'm not one for stupidly lighting up buildings - I'm an astronomer and light pollution annoys me more than lots of things. The other night, in a one off event (I hope!), the University campus was quite nicely lit up. The clocktower and Aston Webb building were the central focus of this. I have a feeling it was an event dinner being held in the Aston Webb building for the European Athletics championship being held in Birmingham... anyway I got a couple of decent photos...
