Sunset 14 December - Helen Cooper

I was lucky enough to see a wonderful red sunset with some blue sky as the dark clouds cleared away. I’ve never felt the Maritime location of the city so strongly.

Sunrise 14 December - Ruth Pratt

Very misty, but eventually the Guildhall Tower and Venn Bridge emerged and then, as daylight appeared, the Maritime Museum appeared and the River Hull.

Sunset 13 December - Christine Goodings

I couldn’t stop looking at everything over and over. It has been grey and damp out there and I didn’t once manage a glimpse of the sun but it was so atmospheric.

Sunrise 13 December - Beryl Burazin

It was interesting seeing various places from high up and recognising buildings from a different viewpoint. I enjoyed going from window to window and seeing the light change as the day began.

Sunset 12 December - Joanna Hinson

Arrived on a beautifully clear winter’s afternoon. Was a little bit transfixed at first when I saw where I was in relation to William Wilberforce and was able to share his view of the city.

Hull is of many dimensions and proportions and I have been blessed with the opportunity to amalgamate much of it into this one awe-inspiring experience.

What an experience that was! Thank you so much for the opportunity to take part. The time in the Pod, contrary to how I thought it would be, flew by.

Sunrise 11 December - Debbie Little

Such a privilege to be able to view our beautiful city from a perspective not many people get to see. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was lucky to get a sunny and dry morning.

Sunset 10 December - Hanna Lutkin

The noise of the seagulls still makes me happy even after 25 years. As the blazing sun gave way to a sparkling half moon my time was suddenly up.

Traffic moves busy, slow
Buildings like Lego

Sunset 9 December - Christine Smyth

What I didn’t expect to see was the River Hull looking so insignificant. I remember almost being late for work on numerous occasions in the 70s because one or both of the bridges ‘were up’ to let the river traffic through.

I didn’t have any expectations before I entered the Vigil but I found myself thinking how everyone’s morning was.

A unique experience and wonderful to be part of the Vigil. I was disappointed to leave after my hour which passed so quickly.

Sunrise 8 December - Charis Scott-Holm

As I watched the sun rising I realised I had never seen a full sunrise before. It made me think about how easy it is to overlook new beginnings – and about the beauty of a new day – and fresh starts.

Sunset 6 December - Gillian Osgerby

The longer I stood, the more I thought about how my work connects me to this wonderful city – I could see silhouettes of vehicles passing over the Humber Bridge, how closely our city is connected to the water and how beautiful the historic buildings are.

Sunset 5 December - Malcolm Scrivener

Spent the first 20 minutes looking across the city seeing it in a new perspective. Things aren’t in the direction you imagine them to be. You also realise just how beautiful the city really is.

Sunrise 5 December - Lyz Turner

A magical experience. Thank you very much. The time was irrelevant, only marked by a constant drip of water which mimicked a ticking clock.
