Loy Krathong Lantern on River in Semarang Night

Cold moonlight spills across the dark surface of a still river, illuminating a single Loy Krathong lantern drifting near the center. The woven banana leaf base holds a small, flickering candle flame that casts a warm, amber glow against the surrounding blue shadows. Low-hanging clouds diffuse the lunar light, creating a soft, even illumination over the water. In the immediate foreground, out-of-focus green leaves and water droplets frame the view, adding depth to the composition. The lantern floats peacefully, its reflection rippling gently on the wet surface. A faint outline of a traditional prayer hall roofline appears in the distant background, anchoring the scene in Semarang. The candle flame remains steady, a small point of warmth in the cool, quiet night.
