Light of Hope

Posted by
Michael Fresh (Chester, United Kingdom) on 1 January 2010 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.

This is one of our Good Luck lanterns ascending into the dark freezing night air. It's just after midnight, and as the paper lantern lifted off we made a wish for a Happy 2010. And we watched until the tiny glowing lights disappeared.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

My book entitled, Looe in Cornwall a photographic tour, is on sale now.
