Hi Sarah! This is a beautiful picture. Such magnificent scenery.

Thank you for your kind comments on my Lantern Bug submission. I am not sure how the process is for the NG Spotting of the week. I merely submitted the photo and honestly I did not expect such a fantastic response.

Best wishes from Malaysia :)
