Er Kan Old Residences - 二崁古厝 - a group of old houses on Xiaomen Island (Penghu). The architecture is a mixture of southern Fujian, Western and Japanese styles.
The people who used to live here were Chinese herb traders - now only elderly people still live in these houses.

A father and his daughter desperately try to light incense sticks while the mother takes a holy dip on the eve of ritual bath that concludes the Rasmela, celebrated every year, at Dublar Char. Devotees, mostly fishermen and their families from the adjacent south-western districts, make an offering to the sea as she not only helps them to make a living but also stands between life and death of the fishermen who goes into the deep sea for fishing.

As you gaze upon this captivating smoke art, you will find yourself immersed in a world where form and fluidity converge, where the intangible becomes tangible, and where a woman's silhouette adorned with a headdress transcends the boundaries of the material world. Smoke art, in its ephemeral beauty, offers a momentary glimpse into a realm where imagination and symbolism intertwine.
Technical Stuff: One light, behind the smoke rising from incense sticks all shot on a black background and post done in PS.
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.

The temple includes many features of traditional Chinese temple architecture, such as the two ceramic dragons on roof ridges and stone lions on the forecourt.
Started by taking this shot indoors, till my whole room started smelling like a temple
Suprisingly, these incense sticks' smell is far more overpowering than any air freshener

I enjoy watching the smoke wafting from incense sticks. First decent shot after attempts over some time
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.
