A special Mid Autumn Festival with Floating Lanterns


i oso saw a grp of ppl playing with 孔明灯 in chinese garden ytd
But they are not as 'law-abiding' as your grp. they just flew all the way up.

like red little stars in the sky!
We can even see them from afar.
 

very nice. :thumbsup:

Aaahhh... thank you for telling me KT!
Now I know. Next time we shall just let go everything and let the lanterns carry our wishes far and wide!
Kam Sia Kam Sia!
 

Nice series. :)

But I wonder, in Singapore fireworks are banned for normal people, but the Floating Lanterns 孔明灯 with fire landed at someone's roof, car, clothing and etc are equal dangerous. :dunno:

Certainly I agree with you SilverPine.
In fact the amount of dripping wax from a floating lantern can be quite a lot.
And if you let it float up, you have absolutely no control where it may go from there.
That is clearly the reason why it is really not a good idea to let them just float off.

Haha... that is why I think my law-abiding daughter is correct in her insistence of tying a fishing thread to prevent the lanterns from 'flying-off'.. Hahaha...
 

Very meaningful .. .
The way u captioned and record the actions done ...
i can feel ur family bonds and happiness as if i am present.
.... nice one.
:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thank you so much, ireallydontlikepink!
Well, I must admit this set of photos aren't perfect, with out of focus shots and movement blur.
But I agree with your view that it records a happy moment with the family.
And the warmth of the closeness and bonding, documented in photography, is something that I would like to keep for posterity.
Thank you once again.
