September 18: Bright Nights at Four Mile Historic Park (Part 3)

[mistressofmuses]

Part three of our trip to the lantern festival! Only a month after it happened, haha.


Lovely morning glories. :) You could, obviously, pose with your faces in them if you wanted.


Pumpkins!

Twelve more pictures:

Pandas! And I loved the blue dragon.


The farm setup was really cool. A barn you could walk through, a bunch of different farm animal lanterns, very neat.


Cow! And I do like the light-up wheat. Such a nice golden glow.


I was particularly charmed by the chickens, haha.


A goat! (You can see the zodiac lights in the background.)


Geese and ducks!


I was also very charmed by the giant clover. The patterns on the leaves is so perfect.


Turkeys and pumpkins! (The turkey tom was animatronic, and would lift his tail up and down.)


Rabbits!


A paintbrush flower and a swallowtail.


Rainbow swallowtail!


Gooseberry arch. This was a whole tunnel of sorts that you could walk through.

The whole festival was really cool, and I'm so glad we got to go!

I'm again seriously blown away by how many lanterns and art installations this exhibit has - good Lord the amount of work that has to have gone into making all of these!!!

I'm also slightly obsessed with the orange pumpkin (I love the three-dimensional-ness) and the wheat, that's such a cool detail to add...

I was really impressed with how much there was to the display! I can only imagine how much work goes into the whole process of creating them and setting them up.

The pumpkins were so perfect!

I loved the wheat - that whole field of it was really cool looking.

Those are really awesome! I love the pumpkins and the barn set up.

The pumpkins made me very happy. I also did really like the barn - it was a very clever and beautiful setup, with the different sized constructions and the glowing wheat.

The festival was so cool! The long dragon was super neat, and I loved all the pandas! There were a bunch in a few different areas.

Those are so pretty! I love the pandas and the farm.

The lanterns were all really lovely. I'm so glad we went! The pandas were really cute. And the farm was really neat: it was pretty elaborate, and just such a warm display. (Mostly I mean in terms of like, gold tones and feeling really inviting, but it was also literally a bit warmer, which was a nice brief break from the chilly evening, ha.)

That's amazing!

[mistressofmuses]

It was such a cool thing!

Probably unsurprisingly, I especially love the pumpkin lanterns!

(And I don't have the brain to comment comprehensively right now, but I just read/looked through several of your other recent photo posts that I hadn't gotten to yet, and enjoyed them as always. ^_^)

The pumpkin lanterns were so perfect!

(And thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed them!)
