Les temples de Hong Kong

J'aime ces spirales d'encens qui descendent du plafond du temple, il faut faire attention en passant dessous, les cendres vous tombent sur la tête, ce qui n'est pas commode pour se concentrer sur la prière.

These are encenses coils hanging from the ceiling are beautiful, I love to take photos of them.
You have to be careful when you are going to the altar as ashes fall onto your head.

And now Mr Garden is doing the same.

Beautiful photos of the incense and temple.

I can't even imagine how thick the scent of incense must be with the size of those coils! I will have to widen my scope of things to see before I die.
