Streams of Chinese Lanterns Fall from the Sky

Westfield Mall Part II: And the beauty of the dome continues...this time with the Lunar New Year celebration inside Westfield Mall. I love these streams of red Chinese lanterns under the dome and how it adds that extra bright, festive mood to the atmosphere.

Festive Chinese Lanterns Sweep the Sky

Crimson red lanterns deck the sky and the city for the upcoming Lunar New Year and the forthcoming Lantern Festival. I decided to get a close-up shot of the bright lanterns and fade the background to give a nice blurred look and feel to the overall imagery. Adding hints of pastel hues with white undertones perfect the contrast between the sharp, clear lanterns and the hazed sky. Take a closer look and you can also see the puzzle pieces effect.
