here are the remaining pictures taken at Kek Lok Si temple at Ayer Itam, Penang Island! I very much look forward to visit this particular temple , (much to Jon's chagrin) particularly during the Chinese New Year celebration for their Lights and Lanterns displays... Hundreds or THOUSANDs of these beautiful red & yellow lanterns made up the vibrant display of lights which filled the night's sky and the temple's exterior with an air of warmth, evoking the festive mood, truly an awesome sight to behold!
a random shot at the foot of the temple... testing out my shutter speed, flash & camera settings..
here's kim, my first subject for a night shot! :)
we were greeted with strings and strings and more of these red lanterns when we approach the Grand Prayer Hall...
Kek Lok Si Temple, flanked by strungs of colourful lit lanterns & fairy lights! :)
a different view of the same building....
My favourite shot of the batch as it emphasises symmetry, just tad dissapointed as the tip of the tower's cropped off...
Spot the S.I buddies!!!!!!!! :) :D
Reminiscent of Funfair Grounds, fairy lights, the sweet burnt smell of caramel popcorn, pink Cottoncandies, Juggling Clowns on stilts, the familiar tune of carnival music tinkling, children's laughter in the background...
another view taken at the base near the parking lots.....no flash in this shot so gotta hold real still in the wind's chill! *shivers my timbers*
with little flicker of lights from the bustling streets coiling and meandering its way up to the temple
and lastly, the S.I Buddies! clockwise :- Jon, Danny, Kian, Kim & Ken
m.i.a : ME (cos i photograph!) teheee!
