Enlighten rolled into town again, along with the night noodle markets.
Enlighten is an annual festival, part of which includes lighting up complex light displays on Canberra's significant buildings. It's a remarkable show and with the warm evening's we've been enjoying offers a pleasant meander around Canberra's parliamentary triangle.
Unfortunately as we we were lining up for noodles we were hit by a passing shower, which threw the crowds into a bit of a disarray. Fortunately things dried up as quickly as the rain clouds had arrived.
In truth, I'm not sure we'll bother with the noodle markets again. They're interesting, but as each year passes the prices rise and the size of the servings shrink. Instead we found that outside of the confines of the market (it's a separate fenced off area which you queue to get in) the ACT government had encouraged other (cheaper but less hipster) fast food options which were a fair bit cheaper - I think it's fish and chips for us next time around.
Either way, the lights are always fabulous and the organisers seem to manage to change things around every year. Audrey and I always love the portrait gallery which has a photo booth which allows you to have your mug-shot projected onto the side of the building.
