Where better to see them than under the Coventry Ring Road? The viaduct which carries it over Gosford Street has been illuminated with LED lights, which project a shifting display of colours onto the concrete, a kind of poor man's aurora borealis. The lights were installed as part of improvement works on Gosford Street funded jointly by Coventry University and the European Regional Development Fund https://www.coventry.gov.uk/regeneration-1/completed-improvement-works/3 .
