Travel Photo – Prayer to Guan Yin at Kek Lok Si temple

What could we do when people in this world now are so emotional and sceptical to words such as wars, earthquake, Tsunami or travel? After all those disasters around the world, be it natural or human created, one after another, from devastating flash flood in Queensland, fatal earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, another earthquake in Yunan, China, and now the worst ever magnitude 8.9 earthquake with destructive tsunami in Fukushima near Tokyo, traveling overseas is the next worst idea to suggest now. While we still worry about radioactive particles erupted from the nuclear plants, allied forces had just declared war to Libya Gaddafi’s forces!

What could we do here in Malaysia?

Some EXIF info: Photo taken with my Nikon D7000 and Nikkor 18-105mm kit lens. Shutter speed 1/30 sec and Aperture F5.3. Focus distance was set to 80mm. Auto ISO 140. Auto White Balance. No flash fired and No exposure being compensated with auto Matrix metering. Image processed to increase contrast and colour vibrancy.

We went to Chinese temple in Penang and practice our prayer to our Gods up there. Joss sticks and stck candles were being lit for prayers and joss papers were burnt to wish that our world would become peaceful and healthy again. Only then the world’s economy could recover, our day job could stay, and we would have real peace of mind to start planning our next holiday vacations again!
