Circuit: Light Fader

I decided to try using a capacitor in a circuit for the first time. This circuit lights up the LED as it charges the capacitor, and then if you remove the battery, the LED does not immediately go out, it fades out as the capacitor discharges. Luckily I hooked it up the right way, or it could have exploded.
