A few weeks ago, I went to the Rogers Chinese Lantern Festival in Toronto. It was a wonderful event, with beautiful displays. It was colder than I would have liked, but it was still enjoyable.

We arrived a little early, while it was still light out. However, darkness came quickly, and everything suddenly became beautiful. I'm thankful that I had my tripod...I don't think the pictures would have turned out as well as they did had I not had it.
