Beautiful @MobotNews Lantern Festival Pics by Ben Evans/@STLEnergized

No doubt you've heard about this event by now, but Ben Evans of local twitter account @STLEnergized snapped some amazing photos this weekend of the Lantern Festival at Missouri Botanical Gardens. He did a great job of capturing the incredible installations in their unique environment; it displays yet one more reason why St. Louis is a wonderful & artistic summer city... despite the onslaught of triple-digit temperatures this year.
