Overall, vague description
Sight- Sky, temple, colours, people...

Dome-shaped building

coated in a concoction of rich, creamy shades of white and grey
showered in a clear glazing of limestone

Paragraph 3
Specific descriptions of the people
Sight
impulsive crowds grip the vivacious colours that lay before them
large smiles plastered on the colour-spotted faces
using their colour-filled hands to affectionately smother the eminent colours
the plethora of the once white-draped crowd, transforms to colossal collection of colours
Sounds
the falsetto effect produced by the repeated use of the water gun
the endless and omnipresent laughter spreads as if it were a contagious disease.

Specific descriptions about the evening bonfire
Sight
sun turns orange, the light it emits paint a golden yellow image
looking up, the sight of several thin clouds appear a burnt orange and vermilon colour
the eager crowd gather and huddle in groups of facility and friends
an advancement in boisterous laugher and joking takes place
People of the community begin to encircle the roaring bonfire
yellow and organ flames dance, whilst the thick, grey smoke produced suffocates the once orange and red draped clouds.

a sea of people manoeuvre rhythmically to the blasting melodies
