2nd Sibu Lantern Festival - Day View of the Standing Lanterns

Yeah... I know this is not something fresh. It is about the 2nd Sibu Lantern Festival which was started on the 16th and by now it's more than a week's old already. This is in fact the 4th post I shared about this festive event because I found out that there are too many colorful photos to share. No matter you like it or not, I beg you at least scan through these colorful photos which I took under the clear weather and hot sun. This is probably my last post about the event before I move on.

I love the blue blue sky which make my photos feel more presentable despite taken with an unprofessional camera. Anyhow, the colorful giant lanterns standing at Sibu Town Square phase 1 compound really made up my day! By this moment, you hardly found such beautiful scenery anymore after a strong wind blew across Sibu sky on Wednesday night. Lots of hanging lanterns were fallen and the standing one also facing some damages. So, do enjoy these photos which stay pretty forever! ;)
