I’m loving Bruce Munro’s latest work because it provides some much needed lighting in churches.

Bruce Munro installed 15,000 bottles in Salsbury Cathedral to create a maze of [illuminated water towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cairn-lamp), all lit with [color-changing LED lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumino1) in random patterns. There’s also a control system with [reactive projectors that responds to music](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychoacoustic-light-ensemble) from the choir, making the towers look like colorful equalizers.
