Kek Lok Si at night

Kek Lok Si is way more attractive and beautiful at night. I've shown a lighted Pagoda previously. It's worth to get into the crowd and traffic jam before coming to this temple. It's during Chinese new year, so there were a lot of tourists and locals for prayer or sight-seeing. I came here with another 2 photogs and my

You could say every group of people has one camera with them and you could see tripods everywhere. People were posing in front of everything. Bulbs, LEDs are wrapped around on every buildings, Pagodas and roof tops. This made the temple covered in red and yellow.

Other than the LEDs wrapper, all the existing lights were turned on which is rare. Here's Buddha statues along the walkway. Peaceful...

Due to the fact than majority of the light source is red or yellow, white balance is way off in the pictures. I had to processed heavily in raw. Oh, don't forget to enjoy the view of lanterns. Lots of them. Red and yellow are all over the place at Kek Lok Si.

I still prefer my photos in landscape.

The big Kuan Yin statue's roof was not finished in construction. I think it will be done at next Chinese new year. Then, there will be another rush of photogs for that lighted Kuan Yin, next year.
