Colour and light

Mid-Autumn full moon in Singapore and lantern festivals took place all over town this weekend. Also called the Moon Festival, this is when the bright full moon marks the summer harvest, so out come the mooncakes and lanterns: food and light. We took a trip to Chinese Garden, a lake-strewn, bonsai-dotted park nearby, which had things going on, but this is an evening festival (hence the lanterns and fireworks) and turning up in the scorching midday wasn’t the best timing. Still the temples and pagodas were pretty. Next year we’ll make a night of it.
