Guy Fawkes Day 2009 (21 November 2009)| It was held a little late this year, but it is nonetheless a Guy Fawkes Night party. I first put this album within my "Experimental and Artistic" meta-album because most of the images were taken with available light and are somewhat-to-very blurry (and many of them more interesting for that). I'm leaving a "stub" there, but I realized that if someone were to come to my site looking for these photos they'd probably look here in the "Events" meta-album first. So. Um. There you have it. |
