have you ever seen those South east asian lanterns that are made out of paper, and that are heated with a small cup of flammable oil? they're printed with prayers and blessings, and, when heated, rise up into the sky. they go forever! im picturing a surrealearly morning, maybe with a dozen of these things weighted so they can't rise far off the surface of a lake. it's misty this time of year in the morning. a still morning would give a really cool reflection too..
..these containers of light could be moved to different settings - rural, urban, the woods..

in TW there's this ceremonial event that closely resemble the one you are mention...the difference is that they set the lanterns off by the ocean so the lanterns ride the tide off to the sea...it's quite beautiful..
