Week 10: Sacred Lanterns
This is a club called La Vida in Los Angeles. I came here to see one of my favorite DJ s. As soon as I entered this place, I recognized these lanterns on the ceiling. It reminds me one of the rituals at the Ganges rive in India which is about floating a little flower with a lit candle with a wish. They made me holy even though it was the club and I am not a Buddhist. I think the color of the lanterns also gave me that feeling. It looks very warm, friendly, gentle, and oriental. Also, the strongest lighting at the left corner of the picture looks like the sun which lights the lanterns.
