For the three nights straddling the Mid-Autumn festival, visitors can also see the spectacular Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance. It's a 67-metre-long 'fire dragon' that winds its way with much fanfare and smoke through a collection of streets located in Tai Hang, close to Victoria Park in Causeway Bay. The Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance started in 1880 when Tai Hang was a small Hakka village of farmers and fishermen on the waterfront of Causeway Bay. This custom has been followed every year since 1880.

Playing with smoke. With my eyesight, it was serious trial and error, loads more of the error. Will play more when I have a bit more time, need a matt background, but its good abstract fun.
Used incense sticks, mingin smell :P, but wondered if the incense cones would be better?

I usually burn incense sticks or cones, but I also have a censer for indirect burning incense with charcoal. I don't use it often, but it's great if I want a really intense aroma hit.
Most of the time my censer hangs from a shelf in my bedroom. I did a quick sketch of it before I getting out of bed, illuminated by my desk lamp. The sketch was done in an A6 sketchbook using a roller-ball pen.
