Today, the people of Pisa will honour their patron saint, Saint Ranieri, by lighting some 70,000 lumini (small glass lanterns) in the city's palazzi, along its bridges, and in the towers, as well as floating thousands of candles on the River Arno. The candles and lanterns create an incredible spectacle of light.

The Luminara di San Ranieri happens every year on 16th June.

Shot of the Day: Storms in Hong Kong

Posted by Emma Torry on August 21, 2008 at 05:45 PM

Typhoon Nuri is heading straight to Hong Kong and is set to hit us at 2pm tomorrow.

We thought it was apt to pick a stormy HK shot today and liked this one, Stormclouds, by Denn on Flickr.

This one, Lighting 03, by moonsheep is also fantastic.
