Some photos from last night's Illuminares festival at Trout Lake. It was a challenge trying to get good shots of lots of the lanterns - low light means long exposure times, and I didn't bring a tripod. Still, I think you get the flavour of the event, although without the sound (drum circle mixed with Bone Machine-era Tom Waits) and the vibe (peaceful and fun, with tons of excited kids).

Special bonus gallery - my Juan de Fuca gallery post is gone, but I've still got all the pix.
