Sky Lanterns

This July I bought some sky lanterns to celebrate random occasions and lighting stuff on fire (I figured I'm an American its how we do things). They are really beautiful and quite fun to light and watch fly away. I have been trying to get good photos each time I light one off but haven't had much success. Last Sunday we celebrated my nieces birthday and I lit my last two. Knowing what to expect and letting other people do all the fire management, I got much better pictures.
