The fiery departure of the Lord.

Posted by Shiva (Kajang, Malaysia) on 27 February 2007 in Architecture.

I took a final picture before I walked out of the Batu caves. I slowed down my camera speed, paused for a moment and did a motion blur shot upwards.Made it look like the fire and spirit in Lord Muruga is satisfied looking at his beloved devotees as he is leaving his embodiment here on earth.

It was already past midnight,I am so very tired, hungry and with my feet aching , this is how I intend to end my Batu Caves Journal for yall. Hope it has educated some of you who has not been here to malaysia to witness this event. And relatively, I hope the pictures are not boring.

Hi guys!, After contemplating for so long, I have finally decided to put out my images for sale in my own photo sales site. Please visit http://www.e-ttl.com to view the site and if you see anything you like, let me know. This is a " Truly Malaysian" site that sells images from Malaysia.

So, I officially pronounce my site open for sales!! Thousands of thanks to aminus3 members and web owners to be a good friend and a true compatriot in photography to all budding photographers to be able to display their works in a blog format for free. I truly salute the aminus3 team for being very kind and humane to all of us. I wish you all the greatest of success.

Thank you.

This is certainly not a boring picture! I love the effect and the colors. It looks very mystical.
