  1. Danielle,

    Amazing shot! I love the light on the building and of course the rich, full, orange/red moon. Did those people in the photo release the candle bags into the sky? I remember Thais doing that at a wedding I was at in Southern Thailand a few years back. It was a beautiful, memorable site!

    xo,
