The Parade Of Lights

I went to the Denver Art Museum Saturday afternoon, not realizing that the Parade of Lights was taking place that evening.  Traffic was a nightmare, but I was able to find a good parking spot, and decided after visiting the museum to stay and watch the parade.  The parade went smoothly, for the most part, although there were several minor delays.  First, some protesters ran into the street in an attempt to disrupt the event, but were quickly subdued and arrested.  And why were protesters trying to disrupt the parade?  Evidently it had something to do with the decision to not indict police officers in Missouri and New York.  I'm not sure how the Parade of Lights is related to that, but I'm sure there must be some logical connection. The second delay was caused by the giant penguin (seen in the photograph above), who several times refused to duck down below various power lines along the route.  The giant penguin, by the way, was neither charged nor arrested.
