Another smoke image. This image was shot in front of black velvet then the image was converted to the negative giving me a pure white BG. The smoke is from incense sticks bought at a Dollar Store and it works just fine. These are relatively easy to set up and once you are shooting you can get a lot of shots! Especially nice when it is raining or bad weather outside, you can shoot inside! I have a lot of these and will occasionally post one. I colorize them in Photoshop. :-)
Der Balinesische Garten spiegelt das Streben der Menschen nach Einklang mit sich selbst, ihrem Umfeld und dem gesamten Universum. Auf Bali heißt es, dass ein harmonisches Miteinander der Dämonen der Erde, der Götter des Himmels und der Menschen auf der Erde unabdingbar ist und Leben erst ermöglicht. Der Balinesische Garten ist so gestaltet, dass alle Elemente miteinander in Einklang kommen können. Darum heißt er „Garten der drei Harmonien“ – auf balinesisch Tri Hita Karana.
Er entstand 2003 im Rahmen der Städtepartnerschaft Berlin-Jakarta, zunächst in einem kleinen, bereits bestehenden Gewächshaqus.. Im Zentrum der Halle steht ein südbalinesischer Wohnhof, der durch eine Lehmziegelmauer von seiner Umgebung abgegrenzt ist. Die baulichen Elemente der Wohnstätte wurden von dem indonesischen Architekten I Putu Edy Semara entworfen und zu großen Teilen auf Bali vorgefertigt. Die „Pura“ gennannte Tempelanlage dient der in Berlin lebenden Bali-Gemeinde als Ort, an dem sie ihre Kultur pflegen und ihre Religion ausüben kann. 2012 wurden zwei zusätzliche Schreine gebaut, die in einer feierlichen Zeremonie von aus Bali eingeflogenen Priestern geweiht wurden. Auf ihnen wirst du stets Opfergaben wie Blumen, Früchte oder Räucherstäbchen finden, die dazu dienen, die Götter gnädig zu stimmen.
Für die IGA 2017 wurde dann eine 1.200 qm große Tropenhalle über dem Gewächshaus errichtet, das nach ihrer Fertigstellung abgebaut wurde. So konnte die bestehende Anlage deutlich erweitert werden. Das energieeffiziente Warmhaus ermöglichte die Kultivierung anspruchsvoller tropischer Pflanzen. Nun endlich konnte sich ein richtiger balinesischer Dschungel entfalten.
In der 14 m hohen Halle sind die Wohnanlage und die Gärten untergebracht. Das feuchtwarme Klima in der Halle stellt im Winter den Fotografen vor große Probleme, weil die Optik immer wieder beschlägt.

The Balinese Garden reflects people's striving for harmony with themselves, their environment and the entire universe. In Bali it is said that a harmonious coexistence of the demons of the earth, the gods of heaven and the people on earth is indispensable and makes life possible. The Balinese Garden is designed so that all elements can come into harmony with each other. That is why it is called the "Garden of the Three Harmonies" - Tri Hita Karana in Balinese.
It was created in 2003 as part of the Berlin-Jakarta city partnership, initially in a small, already existing greenhouse. In the centre of the hall is a South Balinese residential courtyard, which is separated from its surroundings by a mud-brick wall. The structural elements of the dwelling were designed by the Indonesian architect I Putu Edy Semara and largely prefabricated in Bali. The temple complex, called "Pura", serves the Bali community living in Berlin as a place where they can cultivate their culture and practise their religion. In 2012, two additional shrines were built and consecrated in a solemn ceremony by priests flown in from Bali. On them, you will always find offerings such as flowers, fruits or incense sticks, which serve to make the gods merciful.
For the IGA 2017, a 1,200-square-metre tropical hall was then built over the greenhouse, which was dismantled after its completion. This allowed the existing facility to be significantly expanded. The energy-efficient warm house enabled the cultivation of demanding tropical plants. Now, finally, a real Balinese jungle could unfold.
The 14 m high hall houses the living quarters and the gardens. The warm and humid climate in the hall poses great problems for photographers in winter because the lens keeps fogging up.

This photo was done for "Macro Mondays" and the theme of the week was "In a row".
Best viewed in Large.
There are some exquisite sculptures within on its wells. There seems to be some religious symbolism attached to these - worshippers light incense sticks and apply vermillion as a ritual.

The Sevasi Stepwell, in the outskirts of city of Vadodara, in Gujarat, India. Also known as the Vidyadhar-ni-Vav (the stepwell of Vidyadhar-), the inscription possibly mentions that this was built in 1543 CE. Locals say that it was built by Raja Haridas in memory of a spiritual leader Vidyadhar.
Like flowers in a garden, women bloom,
Each petal a story, a journey to exhume.
In the tapestry of life, their voices loom,
Unfurling dreams, breaking barriers, in full costume.
On this day, let's celebrate their grace,
Their resilience, their power to embrace.
In unity, let's stand, let's trace,
The beauty and strength of every woman's face.

Incense burning is an ancient religious ritual common to Egypt, India and East Asia. In Buddhism, it is a sacred offering, a way to honor the Triple Gem of the Buddha, his Dharma and the Sangha. The burning of an incense stick resulting in fragrant smoke teaches the necessity to burn away negative qualities within oneself in order to reveal the pure self within.
I captured this at the Thien Mu Pagoda, one of the most beautiful and well-preserved religious sites in Vietnam. Photographing smoke is a difficult process, but can give some very creative results. I shot this in natural light and looked for an angle that would give me a dark background, allowing the incense sticks and smoke to stand out.

A spirit house is a shrine to the protective spirit of a place that is found in the Southeast Asian countries of Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. The spirit house is normally in the form of small roofed structure, and is mounted on a pillar or on a dais. They can range in size from small platforms to houses large enough for people to enter. Spirit houses are intended to provide a shelter for spirits that could cause problems for the people if not appeased. The shrines often include images or carved statues of people and animals. Votive offerings are left at the house to propitiate the spirits. More elaborate installations include an altar for this purpose.
In Thailand, it is a long-standing tradition to leave offerings of food and drink at the spirit house. Rice, bananas, coconuts, and desserts are common offerings. Most ubiquitous is red, strawberry-flavoured Fanta. The idea seems to be that friendly spirits will congregate to enjoy free food and drink and their presence will serve to keep more malign spirits at bay. The popularity of red Fanta offerings has existed for decades. Opinions as to "why Fanta?" vary. Most point to the significance of the colour red, reminiscent of animal sacrifice, or perhaps related to the practice of anchoring red incense sticks in a glass of water which promptly tints the water red. Sweetness is explained by the observation that sweet spirits naturally have sweet tooths.
📍Not far from Hanoi, Vietnam
⠀
Thousands of incense sticks dry in the sun, dyed a deep red symbolizing prosperity. Each hand that places them follows a ritual passed down for generations. Incense is produced here that will travel throughout Vietnam to honor ancestors and bless households.
The scent of wood and resins fills the air as this ocean of color comes to life with patience and respect for tradition.
In every home, temple, pagoda or shrine, incense plays an essential role: it connects the world of the living with that of the spirits and pays homage to the ancestors.
The photograph shows a worker surrounded by red incense sticks, drying in the open air, in a landscape that seems to be painted with passion and devotion 🌺✨
Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
In her grace, strength unfurled,
She paints the world with colors bold.
With every step, a story told,
She embodies courage, love, and gold.
On this day, we honor her might,
A beacon of hope, a guiding light.
In her presence, darkness takes flight,
Celebrating her, radiant and bright.

I wanted to try something I'd never done before, so armed myself with incense sticks and had a play....
Buddhist Offering - Beware of the potential health risks of incense sticks. Some sticks may release cancer-causing toxins.

Well, for a change of pace....another smoke image. Last year I made a bunch of these smoke images and have occasionally posted one. This one looked like a cigarette lighter so that is how I colored it! Where there is fire the is smoke....and sometimes more fire!!! :-)
The smoke comes from 'cheap' incense sticks that cost about $1.00 for 20 sticks so if the weather is bad and raining or cold outside it allows for another way to shoot indoors!
Here is a link to all the smoke images I have posted. www.flickr.com/photos/larry_d/sets/72157630166666926/
