sinfony in red, chinese temple, jakarta

outside the temple, a sheer sinfony of reds welcomed the visitor - carried to the extreme by the matching outfit of the woman.

chinese woman praying, jakarta

the dim light in the chinese temple was really a challenge that I could overcome with highest ISO setting. But I thing the mood is well retained and transport through this spektrum of reds emerging from the darkness.

incense in the chinese temple

after two days of sitting in dimly lit conference rooms in a hotel in Jakarta, I finally had 8 hours to see where I really am after < 30 hours of traveling from europe. the chinese have a vibrant quarter in the center, and there i met this man sacrificing probably alcohol in his temple.

and if I had not forgotten the cable for my gps, I would even have coordinates to find that temple again on a map. so I will have to wait until I return home.
