Jack-o'-lanters

This being the Halloween time, there are all kinds of spooky walks and haunted houses to visit. But this year I decided to let the family experience something new: The Rise of the Jack O' Lanterns. It is an event with thousands of carved and illuminated pumpkins arranged artfully along a walking path. It was amazing. Some of the pumpkins were incredibly detailed, with copies of master paintings including Mona Lisa and a Van Gogh landscape. Some pumpkins were funny, others scary, and yet many more were just unbelievable in their creativity. Unfortunately I don't have many good photos because it was too dark to take pictures without a flash, and the photos with the flash did not capture the feeling and the light shining through the pumpkin... Here's a bit of a taste of the event and the half mile path of pumpkins.
