Official Lantern Festival Night

The official lantern festival night was Monday February 9th. Fireworks were everywhere. Sometimes firecrackers would pop right at your feet. Luckily no known injuries in our group. The fireworks did burn down one of the new hotels in Beijing; used for the Olympics but no "grand opening" yet. The photos do not do justice to the fantastic and continuous (at least 4 hours) show.

Thanks. I need to get a small travel stand for my camera. Could not hold it still enough.
