This is how it could look
Warm and magical St. Martin's Day lantern scene. A small child (around 4-5 years old) walking in the dark, carrying a glowing homemade lantern. The lantern: a classic paper lantern on a stick, star-shaped or simple round, glowing warmly from within — candlelight (or LED) shining through coloured paper creates a beautiful warm glow. The child is warmly wrapped up (winter coat, scarf, woolly hat), with an expression of wonder and delight. Around the child: fallen autumn leaves, bare tree silhouettes against a dark night sky, one or two more distant lanterns of other children in the background. The lantern light is the dominant light source. Simple, cosy and heartwarming.
