“Floating Lanterns : Loi Krathong Festival in Thailand” by noomplayboy
Loi Krathong coincides with the Lanna (northern Thai) festival known as “Yi Peng” (Thai: ยี่เป็ง) (khom loi (Thai: โคมลอย), literally: “floating lanterns”) are launched into the air where they resemble large flocks of giant fluorescent jellyfish gracefully floating by through the sky. People usually make khom loi from a thin fabric, such as rice paper, to which a candle or fuel cell is attached. When the fuel cell is lit, the resulting hot air which is trapped inside the lantern creates enough lift for the khom loi to float up in to the sky

When I see a beautiful book, when I smell the scent of a freshly printed or a very old book, when I feel the paper between my fingers, when I hear the rustling of the pages turning, I remember why I'll always love the printed world.
