[Leica] Chinese Lantern Festival

[Howard L Ritter Jr]

The Booth Amphitheatre in nearby Cary, NC, is the venue for the second year of something called the Chinese Lantern Festival, a product of a Chinese firm. The main feature is dozens of installations of figures created from fabric over wire frames and illuminated from within by LEDs. I don’t know whether this is a modernization of some Chinese traditional art or festival, or a purely commercial creation, but it’s impressive to walk through at night. There are some nice photo ops:
