Chinese Lanterns

 

What was lovely about the celebrations for the New Year were the number of Chinese lanterns that steadily rose upwards, and which then spread like new stars across the sky. I loved the way that the fireworks missed them, even though they tried their best. Instead these lanterns kept their poise, and rose even higher and sailed with a stately dignity towards the east as if eager to greet new dawn.

Lovely!
