The mid-autumn full moon festival, complete with paper lanterns full of wishes burning into the night sky. Luk Tei Tong village, Lantau Island, Hong Kong.

I took a flight tour over the Harding Ice Field, almost 700 square miles of ice and snow. We flew up Bear Glacier, across to Aialik Glacier and back down Exit Glacier into Seward, AK.
