Mid Autumn Festival in Gero


Also known by many other names such as Moon festival, Mooncake festival, Lantern festival is a chinese celebration that falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month on the Chinese calender which equates to... TODAY!! :D It's about moon worshipping, mooncake eating, lantern carrying and dragon dances! Because I couldn't get my hands on any pretty looking lanterns... I decided to make one.. and draw ugly flowers on it and look at the biggest, brightest moon of the year! Couldnt find any candles and even if I did have any, it wouldnt have balanced anywhere so I had a little torch shined up into my lantern, weeeeee~
Happy Moon Festival day!! :D

I miss those celebrations of lantern/mooncake festival. The liondances and the mooncakes in lil baskets, and the awesomeeeeee lanterns. Those lantern days seems like centuries ago. I feel sad now. Perth sucks in festivities.
