Thai Loi Krathong Candle Lotuses Float in at a public square during a festival near Bang Rak, Bangkok

Thai Loi Krathong Candle Lotuses Float

by Ricardo Keller

Bright afternoon sunlight reflects off the dark, rippling water of a public square near Bang Rak, Bangkok. Several handcrafted lotus-shaped krathongs made of banana stalks and green leaves float on the surface. Each vessel holds a small, steady yellow flame that burns against the cool gray of the rainy season clouds. The sky above is a washed-out blue with scattered white cumulus formations. In the background, the blurred outlines of traditional Thai temple spires rise above the tree line. The composition places the glowing flowers along the right vertical third, leaving the left side open to the water's surface. A sharp shadow from a nearby palm frond falls across the water, cutting through the reflection of the flames.
