Worship

garden

I saw these ladies burning paper money, incense sticks and other worship stuff on a street in Sheung Wan this afternoon. Not sure but I don’t think it’s a festival or birthday of a god today so probably it’s a family memorial day. They were so focused on what they are doing and didn’t notice me taking photos across the narrow street.

p.s. Major change to Hong Kong, one photo a day to take place, click here for information.

    Very nice, with the color of the flame only. I see they have a bucket (of water?) handy in case the blaze gets out of control. This is something I’ve never seen, the worship of ancestors, though of course I’ve heard about it.

    I;m so happy I got it today. This is a great shot sista. I like how it’s split in the middle by the beam.

    Ben was showing me how with his software he can darken certain areas of the photo and I was just saying, “Just like Lisi does!”, to which he had an lengthy explanation about the difference of what he was doing and what you do - here - take out the hues from most of the photo. You know, Sweetheart, I’m already missing you. I feel terrible.
