Lantern Festival

Last weekend I went to a Lantern Street Festival. This was a celebration the weekend before Buddha's birthday. Many streets throughout Seoul have been lined with lanterns hanging from the light posts the past two months. The top picture shows an area outside one of the temples where thousands of laterns were hung. The highlight of the festival was a large lantern parade at the end of the day. Thousands (probably more like millions in this city!) lined the streets for this event.
