Hundreds of Sky Lanterns Rise Over Shanghai at Predawn
by Seth Hayes
Warm orange glows from hundreds of paper lanterns drift upward against a deep indigo predawn sky over the Huangpu River. Low-hanging gray clouds hang heavy and partially obscure faint starlight above. The dark water below reflects scattered lights, creating shimmering trails that ripple gently across the surface. In the distance, the silhouette of Shanghai's skyline stands dark and silent, its windows mostly unlit. Lanterns vary in height, some clustered near the water's edge while others ascend higher into the thinning mist. One lantern hangs low, its flame flickering visibly against the gray cloud layer. A faint reflection of a distant building edge cuts through the rippling light on the water.
