Every now and then the little things make you sit back and breath in the experiences.
A perfect sunset over West lake greeted our family visitors capture by Mark.

I have always found while living in Hanoi the people very friendly and as we walked past a young couple sitting by West Lake they let us join in while they lit and let go paper lanterns. We had seen these lanterns in the sky on many occasions but we had never seen the process of letting them go. I am not sure the reason for the lighting and letting the lanterns go, maybe it is for making wishes or sending preys to past relatives what ever the reason watching these lanterns float through the night sky is quite pretty as they float up up and away.
