Chinese Lantern No.7

Monday 14th February 2005 - Day 58

Best viewed in original

No hearts today, a skeleton. I suppose this should have been best done over Halloween, lol

I wanted to capture the delicacy of the structure really close, even though I have dropped the lantern a few times now, and it does tend to waft around a bit, it is actually very strong.

I slept really well over the weekend, go to work this morning and promptly felt sleepy. Must be the building :)

Very pretty lace. It must be tired out by now.

Another beautiful Chinese lantern shot, Lee. But .. you know .. if you trace along some of the lines, you CAN make heart shapes. Though I'm not admitting to doing that just to find heart shapes. Just saying it can be done. ;)

Delicacy is what you captured, too, Lee. Very nice macro.. and the lanterns sort of look heart shaped..

This one's my new favourite! And I swear I can see a couple of heart shaped segments...
