Pixel Lanterns

Paper sky lanterns rising over a night lake, glittering on the water

Warm paper sky lanterns rise slowly from a night lake into the soft aurora of baubra.com, the near ones big and bright, the far ones small, each glowing from the flame inside and trailing a few embers. The lake is a sheet of glittering pixels that catches every lantern in a long shimmering path of light, below a dark far shore with a few lit windows. Sweep the mouse over the water and its pixels part around the cursor and settle back, and the lanterns glow brighter as it passes; click to scatter them. Pick a style: Baubra's violet and teal, golden Dawn, Starlight blue or Rose.
