That's so fascinatingly busy! I'm sure it looks so much better in your photo than if one were actually there.

Thank you for your comments!
Hilda, you are partly right,because walking on that area could do very carefully because of burning candles in people' s hands.
Peter, you have to go and visit again there!
I am now at lake - of course :)

Marvelous capture. It's difficult to believe that the lovely young woman on the left is all alone.

Varmasti oli oikein mielenkiintoista matkaa! Kaikki näyttää niin erilaiselta kuin tuttuja maisemia.
Hieno kuva!
Very nice foto!

I like how you captured not only the candles but their smoke. The colorful image is wonderful.
