A lantern walk around the Jamaica Plain Pond drew in a crowd of a few thousand people, and as bands played beneath a gazebo, hundreds of families walked around the pond with homemade, candlelit lanterns fashioned from 2 liter bottles and tissue paper or spaghetti jars and house paint.
The closest thing Hawaii has to a lantern walk is the annual Memorial Day Lantern Float across a man-made beach in downtown Honolulu. Beautiful, but not so festive. And people don't dress up for it.
Jamaica Plain Pond, Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts.
Makes me almost wish that I had white Christmases when I was growing up.
HAH. Right.

Some really beautiful pictures. I really like these, like really. Even more than those fake Polaroids. They remind me of the shots in that movie "The Assassination of Jesse James . . ." when they are robbing the train in the forest, except yours are in color, and better.
