Yi Peng Lantern Festival, Thailand

The Yi Peng Lantern Festival takes place in Thailand during the full moon of the second month of the Thai lunar calendar. On this day Chiang Mai people release thousand of lighted lanterns in the sky while making a wish. The sky transforms itself in a wonderful and surreal sea of little lanterns floating away. The spectacle is mesmerizing. Its a spectacular event that I one day hope to have the chance to attend. The festival is a religious ceremony that pays homage to the Buddha.
