Eve of Chinese New Year - Year of the Horse

Towards the Sunset

Having the chance to go into a decorated temple for a festive season is surely something not to be missed. And so there we were & I was shocked with what I'm seeing! Even before entering the temple, there were food bazaars lining outside the temple, a stage was setup for a performance and the lights... ahh the lights... too many of them that I now am really really keen in need of a wide angle lens just to keep up.

Entrance to the main hall

This time around I dragged my son who always is so busy asking me to bring him to my quest of sunrise/sunset. Being a 10 year old he had so many questions that at time I just wish Google was at my hands and not eating up the battery juices of my phone - LOL. My son at times was tired waiting for me triggering my multiple exposures that he sometimes venture himself around the temple. I just make sure that at crowded places he just stay close.

Main hall

This was one of those times when you wished you had something just to satisfy something. Yup, I keep having problems on my cropped body camera and without a wide angle or a fish-eye lens it sure poses problems.
This temple on the other hand is quite famous where is has been used in commercials and movies (kung-fu movies on the majority).

From the top

With lights all light up coming to dusk, I just love the reds against the blue dusk of the evening. Positioned myself at a tight stairs and I tried my best. Worth the effort even with a crop body on a 17 at max - LOL

Choose your tanglung

With the vast amounts of tanglungs (lanterns), guess one would just have to choose one? - LOL
