This year each had a small sign detailing the display, as well as a small ad. There were over 30 displays, all with the fabric framing and back lighting. In my opinion they are far more colorful and brilliant than any Christmas light display. What has become an annual tradition is a December visit to the State Fairgrounds for the annual Chinese Dragon Lights. So my friends at WordPress have changed their editor, so we shall see how this posting comes out!

We usually see the lanterns around Christmas in Ohio when it is very cold. Huntsville is a much smaller city that Columbus, yet they put on a nice show. The main display on a pond was fantastic. There was a large display of one we hadn’t previously seen. The setting in the botanical garden provided a more interesting setting than we were used to, with ponds to display (and reflect) the lanterns. Now that the sun had mostly set, the lanterns were vivid in their illumination. The family of geese were heading home for the evening.Īs the sun was setting we stopped by the stage to watch the martial arts demonstration. The fountain was catching the setting sun just right to make a rainbow. We arrived about 45 minutes before sundown to check out the gardens. While looking for something to do that evening we discovered that the Chinese Lanterns were in town at the aforementioned gardens. On a recent road trip we found ourselves in Huntsville, Alabama for one night, with our hotel about a mile from the botanical gardens.
