As I burn
Posted by Shiva (Kajang, Malaysia) on 7 March 2007 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
I didnt wait long enough to watch the wicks finish burning.But certainly I snapped it in its full glory for the adoration of the temple visitors.
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.
Shiva

Well, weird enough to comment and to ask, too. When do you use this? Or is it simply to perfume a room?
I don't know if it's a silly question, but i really do not know and i just wonder, Shiva...

@Evi: It is chinese temple prayer wicks. It doesnt smell as good as the indian incense sticks, smells more like smoke really, but this is hung in every chinese temples around the world. Smokes according to hindu and buddhist customs acts as a purifying agent very much like water! And your question is not a silly question. It is an intelligint inquisitive query on which I must educate you about the chinese culture! Feel free to ask anything Evi!. ;)
