The other night I visited the Chinese Lantern Festival at Magnolia Gardens called “Lights of Magnolia.” It was spectacular, a sensory experience that was both magical and surreal. I went with my sister and it was a good chance to get away for a while after all that’s happened in the past month.
Here is a description from the official Web site:
”The Lantern Festival is a centuries-old Chinese tradition, celebrated from the Han Dynasty 206 B.C. to 221 A.D., featuring spectacular illuminated scenes from history and mythology. Lantern displays are incredibly detailed and intricately constructed, with some lanterns as large as 20 meters tall and 100 meters in length.”
Indeed, this was an unforgettable experience. Once in a lifetime.

No idea on Flickr, but the lanterns sound like works of art, so I hope you are successful. I use Imgur.

IMgur looks like an amazing site and very popular. I mayhave to try it and acquire another photo addiction site/app! 🙂
I did find out how to post the pics of the light festival here, so you might want to check them out!
