Candlelights On The River
Candlelight is unanimously associated with romance in the western world, but in this picture, this is not the case. In Vietnam and many other eastern countries this is a way to grieve for lost loves ones and a means to pay tribute to them. Traditionally these ceremonies are symbolic and draw a lot of attention of locals and tourists alike. Photographer Tuan Nguyen has captured yet another amazing image for us to marvel at. This is a picture of the candlelit Nhu Y River in Hue City. Candles and Chinese lanterns have been associated with death and releasing of the spirit in the East for a long time and the concept is slowly being adopted by the western world.
