Religious Lanterns

Some of the lanterns in the Chiswick Festival depicted scenes that were religious or spiritual in nature and these are some of those

And there was the magnificent gateway into the Chinese New Year -

Each archway richly lit so that together they formed a kind of stage as you approached them, but a tunnel as you passed through them.

And in their midst, the Year of the Cockerel! 

At the end of the archway there was a big heavy brick building (totally British-institution-like) and the whole of the gateway was reflected in its ancient glass windows, distorted and timey-wimey...

Next time... the totally cutesie little girl dolls.
