Setting lanterns into the sky. October 2012

Back in 2012, my friend Marilyn had the genius idea to celebrate her birthday over a scene most famous in Asian countries like Thailand and Taiwan and even the Disney movie, Tangled.  We were in Milne Park and lit up sky lanterns that had our wishes written on it before we let it go into the night sky.  It was unfortunately drizzling when we were doing this but we were still able to set off most of our sky lanterns up into the sky for our wishes to be made true.

For this week’s photo challenge of “nighttime“, I thought this would be a great picture to use.  Also, it is the end of September which means that October is quickly approaching.  Do you know what October means?  It means that this time of the year is when most people are born… (you can argue with this one, but people like to keep warm in unique ways during the winter time ;)).   Thus, this photo is quite fitting for both the theme and the time of the year. 🙂  Happy end-of-September!
