Illuminares 2007

Last night we joined the crowds at John Hendry Park to celebrate the 2007 edition of Illuminares.  For me, at least, this is East Vancouver's major annual day of revelry.  We have a wide range of neighbourhood activities across the city throughout the year.  But one evening every July we gather around Trout Lake to enjoy the creative ways in which we can defeat the darkness.  Wood nymphs, stilted performers, and music of many kinds weave their way through the swinging lanterns and light-bag-marked family groupings.

I love it.

My camera settings got screwed up unfortunately (OK, OK, I screwed up the settings!), so I didn't get any useful shots.  Oh well, the memories are fine.
