I stumbled across this sky lights festival on flikr. I think it is so beautiful, eap. because I have a weird love for lanterns. Apparently, this annual Sky Lights Festival occurs in Pingsi, a rural town in the north eastern part of Taiwan. Sky lanterns are traditionally lanterns made of oiled paper with a bamboo frame that contain a small candle or other combustible material. When lit the candle heats the air and causes the lantern to rise into the air. Is this not the most beautiful festival you have ever seen? It puts the Cottonwood to shame.
