The sky beneath my feet – London, Chinatown
Chinese New Year, or lunar new year, is celebrated on the first day of the first month in the lunisolar Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th of that month with the Lantern Festival. On this day, candles are lit inside houses to guide wayward spirits home, and families walk the streets carrying colourful lighted lanterns. London’s large Chinese population centre their celebrations on Chinatown, where the streets are strung with colourful red lanterns for the duration of the festival. These ones were perfectly reflected in a puddle among the cobblestones.
