Candles Floating in the Dark

Event: Lantern Festival, Senzoku-ike, Tokyo, Japan (17 July 2011)

Thousands of these lanterns were floating and they kept moving as if they were parading around the lake as blown gently by the wind. In a way, they look awesome while the lights flicker in the dark but on another thought, i'ts kinda boring as what you see is the same during the entire ritual. I don't know if the event has any religious or spiritual significance but on another note I still think they really have a way to make simple things spectacular.

 

Please be amazed in BLACK. Press "L".
