January Light: Chinese lanterns
Edinburgh’s Christmas festivities are a rich source of light! Here we have lantern-light from last year’s Giant Lanterns of China event. Linked to Becky’s January Squares challenge – words ending in light.
Gallivanting in my home city and further afield. Words by me, photos (mainly) by him. The good ones anyway!
These are beautiful.

Beautiful. Looks like stained glass windows with the bright colors against the black background.

Over Christmas usually, so not a time you would brave the Edinburgh cold!

You get so many great outdoor displays where you live. I just have to content myself with nature. Love this photo!

They had the same kind of thing going on in Leeds, with Chinese dragons and such. I loved it 🙂 🙂

How lovely, I’d be tempted to square up just the one unicorn to remove the one you’ve chopped in half! Edinburgh looks like a great city to visit at Christmas time.

In retrospect, possibly yes!
