Loi Krathong Baskets Float Noon Bangkok Water

by Gwendolyn Lancaster

Bright yellow marigold garlands wrap around woven palm-leaf baskets drifting on a canal near Bangkok. Flat noon light reflects sharply off the rippling water, turning the surface into a shimmering mirror of blue sky and pale clouds. Three candles burn inside the baskets, their flames steady against the bright glare. Blurred green leaves in the immediate foreground frame the floating offerings, while distant festival banners hang limp in the dry season heat. The water ripples gently around the edges of the woven trays, pushing small arcs of light across the dark surface. One orange petal rests on the wet rim of the nearest basket.
