Last night was the festival of lights, so few of of got the idea it would be a great place to have a shoot. unfortunately we weren't alone. It was so over filled that it was hard to move through the crowds with a camera bag let alone find a good spot to shoot from.

The Chinese Lantern Festival
The Chinese Lantern Festival boasted 30 elaborate, grand-scale lantern installations that transformed the Ontario Place landscape into something most North Americans had never seen before. It took 60 Master Craftsman 45 days to build the sets, which were displayed on land and water. The Festival, supported by the Chinese Ministry of Culture, included an authentic marketplace, Chinese cultural performances, and thousands of traditional art and red silk lanterns.
The Lantern Festival in China falls on the 15th day of the first lunar month, which marks the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations. On the night of the first full moon, cities and villages are illuminated by beautifully decorated and intricately crafted lanterns hung from houses, shops and temples and carried by children as they walk along the streets. Today, streets on which the Lantern Festival is held are not only lit by the traditional lanterns, but also by brilliantly crafted floats and highly complex light shows. The lanterns are traditionally made of paper or silk and are painted all sorts of designs or famous scenes from Chinese history.

The Brazilica Festival is the largest celebration of Brazilian culture in the United Kingdom that has been held annually in Liverpool, England since July 2008. It is produced by the Liverpool Carnival Company, an organisation that has operated as a registered charity since 2007. The festival began during Liverpool's reign as European Capital of Culture in 2008 when a Rio-style Carnival Parade swept through the streets of the city. In its current format, the festival consists of a week-long celebration of Brazilian culture including music, art, food, film and dance events that take place at indoor venues across the city which build up to an outdoor city centre carnival street party that takes place in Williamson Square and samba carnival parade.
The Liverpool Samba School was set up by husband and wife creative team Roger and Maeve Morris in 1995. The school performed at the Rio Carnival in 2000 and wanted to bring a touch of the Carnival's magic to streets in their own city. In 2007, the creative team established the Liverpool Carnival Company with an aim of delivering a Carnival event the following year.
