Thai Loi Krathong Candle Lotus Festival Night in at a festival street procession in Bangkok

Thai Loi Krathong Candle Lotus Festival Night

by William Case

Midnight rain clouds gather thick and dark above a Bangkok street procession where dozens of floating candle lotuses drift on water. Beams from a lighthouse sweep across the scene, cutting through the gloom to illuminate the wax petals and flickering flames. The water reflects the warm orange glow against the cool grey of the wet pavement and stormy sky. Participants in traditional attire stand along the banks, their faces lit by the intermittent light. The symmetrical arrangement of the floating offerings creates a rhythmic pattern across the dark surface. One reflection of a flame shimmers on a ripple near the foreground edge.
