Rice terraces strung with lights, Wajima, Japan

This nightly display in the community of Wajima, Japan, has its roots in a tragedy. In March of 2007, the region was hit by a 6.9 earthquake, an event that injured more than 300 people and caused one death. As a memorial, people here placed candles around their rice fields. The candles were later replaced with solar lanterns–and the tradition continues today.
