Having put the finishing touches to the arbor above the stairs leading down to the pond, it's time to turn on my recently acquired Chinese lantern which I found at my favourite op-shop during my latest bookhunt. It's a real piece of art!
Pull the toggle once and it's a red lantern ...
... and pull the toggle again and the room is bathed in a warm glow.
Of course, it's nothing when compared to the sunset across the river.
Evening at "Riverbend" is life at its best!
