This week’s theme for the hunt is Dark. I took this one in December last year at The Grotto. The candlelight was beautiful and was even more so after dark. Really lovely.

During the day the area where the artist in this photo is packing up for the night is full of artists booths. We actually bought some art when we wandered here the day we arrived in Victoria.

After enjoying what Butchart Gardens had to offer on Tuesday, June 24, we went down by the harbor for a lovely dinner, thanks Mary and Martin for taking us out, and a walk near the harbor to check out the lights.

I just uploaded a few pictures from what is normally Karen’s camera. I used it tonight to take pictures for the 365 project, which you can see at image – ination. Anyway… when I downloaded the pictures from the camera onto the computer I found some shots Karen took the other day as we were driving around. It was a very cool morning, fog laying low over the bridge. Nice. I really love this one.

We went to the Grotto Christmas Eve to look at the Festival of Lights. Neither of us had been there before. It was a pretty great display of lights not to mention the fact that we ran into a couple of friends we hadn’t seen before. Weird place to run into friends, and a strange time, being out on Christmas eve and all, but it was nice to see them.

The house itself isn’t the only thing they light up at this place… the backyard, trees, and out buildings all get the same treatment.

Besides going to the raceway to see the lights, we also stopped, on the way to the raceway, to take some pictures of this victorian. They light this place up every year and it is, always, really beautiful.

It’s Christmas time in the city. I guess that’s no big surprise, but fun to say none the less. Anyway… I digress. We decided to go see the lights at the Portland International Raceway last night. It’s something they do every year. Set up lights all along the track and then let people drive through and look at them. For a fee of course, but mostly for charity, which is cool.There we were… Karen, Kev, Weston, and I, all driving along, sipping chai (all but Weston… well, he might of gotten a taste or two off of a lid), and looking at the lights. Karen drove so I could take pictures. Some turned out OK, others… well… not so much. But I’m strange, no surprise there to those who know me, and sometimes I’m a big fan of the photo that didn’t turn out exactly right. In fact, sometimes I like them better than what was intended. So… blurry… hey, that’s OK by me.
