The burning incense is on the left third of the picture.
I have taken this picture at Man Mo Temple, Hong Kong adopting a slow speed.
The smoke just floated from the left to the right side of the picture, blurring the background and giving it a sense of motion.

I am running out of words to describe the temple ruins in Angkor Wat!
There are ruins everywhere, but depending on the perspective, the angle, the lighting in taking the photos, they invoke different moods and thoughts.
Here is another view that I find awesome!
Here the temple is more intact and preserved.
This is definitely a place of ruins and . . . . . more ruins.
A place where plant and man made stone structures coexist and struggle to take over one and another.
A place once abandoned and rediscovered.
A place that caught people spell bounded!
From perusal of a recent picture of this part of the temple of Angkor Wat, it appears that the area is now cordoned off.
Not sure whether this is a temporary measure or a permanent one – to keep tourists from having a close look at the more popular area so as to avoid it being mistreated or damaged.
I will be disappointed if the area is permanently cordoned off and made it accessible.
Luckily, I have taken quite a number of photos which I am happy to share here!
The visibility was very low while we were up on top of Erhmei Mountain in China.
The golden temple on the mountain top could just barely be seen.
It was disappearing into the thick mist!

Yellow is my favorite color.
These photos were taken some 2 years ago in Beijing.
Autumn foliage was everywhere in the rural districts of Beijing.
This was the first time we visited the Hongluo temple – we were immediately captured by what we have seen.
Yellow foliage with the temple in the background.
We are already missing it. If opportunities arise, we would like to visit it again in Autumn!
This is what I saw when I reached the top of a mountain in South Korea last Autumn.
These mountains have the shape of the ears of a horse and in Chinese, they are called the Horse Ear Mountains.
We made our way to the top and saw this Guanyin statue. In fact, I was more impressed by the texture and contrast in colors.
The exposed slopes was rugged, but the lower half of the picture was covered with a red colored vine.
Where one color / texture transitions into another, there stood Guanyin (of a smoother texture) with a gesture of Peace in her hands.
So, this is my second submission on the theme of Texture.
Please enjoy!
