Floating Lanterns, Thailand
Photo: Patrice CarltonI had planned a recent trip to Thailand in November to coincide with the Loy Krathong celebration because I had seen pictures of the floating lanterns being launched into the sky. However, nothing I had seen prepared me for the incredible magic of experienceing thousands of these lanterns floating into the night sky at once while monks chanted at the Lanna Meditation Center in Chiang Mai. It was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had.

Autumn Woods, Germany
Photo: Jonathan ManshackThis photo was taken during autumn in Hameln, Germany, which is the birthplace of the infamous Rattenfanger - or Pied Piper as we Americans know it. This shot is actually on top of the last few hills that soon sink into the state of Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony). This area is essentially lowland plains - hence the name Lower Saxony!
