February Theme Day - What would you miss - Monks and Lanterns

What would you miss?  This is theme for the February for the City Daily Photo community.
When I leave Chiang Mai I will miss the elephants of course and the monks and the lanterns.
Wandering the old city one night I came across monks selling candles to raise money for their wat(temple) as part of the event they had candles placed under this tree laden with lanterns and at 7pm calmly paraded out to light the candles.  A wonderful and colorful ceremony.

    This is an unbelievable view. I would miss seeing the vibrant scenes of Thailand, too!

    Happy Theme Day!
