On April 17th, I participated in Take Back the Night at UCI. Every year the CARE office puts on this beautiful event with a candlelight vigil and speak out to raise awareness of sexual assault and honor survivors. When it got darker, they lit probably 150 candles in little cups for people to hold as we marched around campus. I was with one of my friends playing around, and it was also interesting to see that when she moved the candle closer to her face it gave off a more intimidating feel. The vast amount of candles gave off a warm, incandescent glow and when everyone held them and walked around, they lit everyone's faces similar to a warm flood light or someone sitting by a campfire. It was lovely to see how a minimal amount of light can give off just the right amount of light.

That is a GORGEOUS picture. It's interesting how the most calm and inviting kinds of light (candlelight) can be so dangerous (FIRE!!! :O)
