Though no video can do the feeling of a procession 100% justice, this definitely shows lamplighting from a participant's perspective. I loved seeing your hand reach out to adjust a flame - thanks for running support that night; hope you enjoyed it!

When he lights his streetlamp, it is as if he brought one more star to life, or one flower.
When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep.
That is a beautiful occupation.
