Chinese Lantern items are very bright and reflect well in the lake. The swans are probably 7-8 feet tall. I have to go early as an hour after opening there is a large crowd viewing each item.

Ted, you've provided us with another great and amazing capture, taken at the Chinese Lantern event.
At normal size your picture is already wonderful, but when viewed at full screen size, it's a spectacular one!
S+F! Thanks for sharing it, 👍 !

I Googled the festival and learned that most of the lanterns at the festival are hand-made in China*s lantern capital~~the city of Zigong, in Sichuan Province. So, if I understand the process, much of what we are seeing is rice paper, bamboo, wood, wheat straw, and metal.

That is a helluva lot of work, creativity, and determination (I would have included stamina but I cannot spell it. . . cuz I don*t have any).

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
