some rad pics I took at the Loy Krathong festival last weekend…..

 

Mmmm, Buddha and drippy lights :)

busy busy road. It makes Adam say “alai wah!”

There was a beautiful photo gallery for everyone to enjoy by the river….

Hangin loose with some gang-stars

There are 30+ lanterns in the air at any given moment…. such a beautiful sight :)

a prego lady releasing a lantern :)

my home dawgs….

These are the floating candles that mom and adam and I made….. they had trouble floating in the testing faze so at the last minute we had to attach a styrofoam floaty to each one, lol  :p

releasing my candle- the action symbolizes forgiveness……..

I forgive you.

Mom sending off her candle and forgiving….

there were these incredible displays of art that were created out of flowers and leaves and plant parts….. very nice.

beautiful firework display too…

the fireworks sound deeper out here when they’re set off….. it sounds like war

just when we thought the firework show was over, the bridge exploded with light…

the bridge continued to shower sparks down for a while…… ravers shower.

Everyone is releasing their candles into the river to float away :)

my beautiful city lit up in all its glory. The tall lit building on the right is the general Hospital and the famous Wat SoThong temple in to the left (lookin like the Eiffel tower)

I know this last pic is blurry, but I just wanted to point out all the little orange dots at the bottom…. those are all floating candles coming from the next town up river…. how cool is that? :)

 

Thas all for now, you can see more pics on my facebook too.

 

love,
